Selfridge Apologizes for Fashion Faux Pas

On its store windows recently, it featured an Alexander McQueen dress hanging from a desk lamp. It was as if the dress committed suicide.
People are calling it inappropriate because as you should know the late designer died in February this year after taking his own life and hanging himself in his apartment.
Selfridge has issued a statement regarding the matter.
“Presenting a fashion item from the new Alexander McQueen collection hanging was never intended to be linked to the designer’s untimely death or how he died. Nearly all the new season items from our new window scheme, The Desirables, showcased in both our London and Manchester stores, are hung artistically on their own to present them as even more extraordinary. However, we do acknowledge that, in retrospect, presenting the dress in our Manchester Exchange Square store in this way was a mistake, and would like to apologise if this particular window has upset anyone. The dress has been removed and replaced by another designer’s garment.”
