Alexander McQueen and Philip Treacy on catwalk STORYLINE: The brilliant and controversial British fashion designer Alexander McQueen, a leading light in the fashion firmament, has been found dead in his London home. His company made the announcement on Thursday. He was 40 years old. Police said his death was not being treated as suspicious. McQueen''s sudden death robbed the fashion scene of one of its most innovative and successful young designers. He made his name first in London, then wooed audiences in Paris, New York and Milan to take his place in the upper echelons of the designing world. Despite the accolades, McQueen clung tenaciously to his privacy, turning down most interview requests and shying away from the post-show limelight other designers craved. Known for his dramatic statement pieces and impeccable tailoring, he helped raise the profile of British fashion and was recognised by Queen Elizabeth II in 2003 when she made him a Commander of the British Empire for his fashion leadership. Little was immediately known about the circumstances surrounding his death, which came as the fashion elite was gathered in New York for a series of catwalk shows. Recently posted comments on his Twitter page showed signs of anguish over the February 2 death of his mother. He said he wanted his mother to rest in peace and said, "But life must go on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Using an obscenity, he added that he had had an "awful week" and said he had to "some how pull myself together and finish."
