Alexander McQueen's ex wants NY fashionistas to stop crying

New York (ANI): Alexander McQueen's former beau has asked the fashion world of New York to stop crying about the late designer. George Forsyth says that the outpouring of condolences of N.Y.C.'s paper-thin celebs is rubbish.

"The truth is, the fashion world is the loneliest place on the face of the planet. It's a shallow world full of party people and party 'friends'. Lee knew that," the New York Daily News quoted him as telling the London Daily Mail.

The British designer"s ex feels McQueen isn't being mourned appropriately. He said: "It's been fashion, fashion, fashion ... but what about him as a person? That's the real loss and the real waste." Alexander hanged himself at his home in London, last Thursday.
