The brilliant and controversial British fashion designerAlexander McQueen was found dead in his London home Thursday after anguished Internet postings that revealed his deep sorrow at the death of his mother. He was 40 years old.

McQueen's sudden death has robbed the fashion scene of one of its most innovative and successful young designers.  His brilliance and imagination knew no bounds and will continue to be a lasting inspiration for me and many others in this industry. He will be sorely missed.
