McQueen to receive posthumous fashion award

7 December 2010

The award will be presented at tonight’s British London Fashion Awards 2010 at the Savoy Hotel in London. Other recipients of the award have included Vivienne Westwood and John Galliano.

McQueen, who hanged himself in February 2010 aged 40, was widely acknowledged as one of the finest designers of his generation. During his career he was named Designer of the Year four times.

Speaking to Vogue, Harold Tillman, chairman of the British Fashion Council, said: “The Outstanding Achievement Award celebrates the exceptional talent of an individual who has contributed to the British fashion industry, both internationally and here in the UK, throughout their career.

“There was only one person we felt we could recognise with the award this year – Lee McQueen.”
