Alexander McQueen (Picture) mourner A makeshift memorial grows at Alexander McQueen’s Manhattan store on the day the celebrated fashion designer was found dead at his London home, after supposedly taking his own life – just a week after his mother passed away.

ALEXANDER MCQUEEN’s womenswear adviser, SARAH BURTON, will replace the fashion icon as his namesake company’s creative director.

MCQueen devoted suicide in London in February (10).

Burton has been the designer’s associate for many years and served as head of design for womenswear at the fashion house up until MCQueen’s death.

In a statement she says she expects to “stay true to his (MCQueen) legacy“.

No look for Lady Gaga is ever quite absolute without a headpiece. So it comes as no revelation that the singer would be interested in millinery.

And who superior to learn from than legendary Irish hat maker Philip Treacy–the couture hat designer behind her memorable Grammys lightning bolt headpiece, Sarah Jessica Parker‘s famous green topper for the London Sex and the City premiere and a preferred of the late fashion icon Isabella Blow.

But whether or not Gaga pursues in the path of stars like Ashley Olsen in becoming a design intern remains to be seen. While nothing is set in stone, it is true that she has request an internship with Philip, corroborates a rep for the label.

Having collaborated with Philip Treacy on a number of her most-famous headpieces, we imagine this would be a match made in fashion designing heaven.
