PARIS – The French owners of the late designer Alexander McQueen's label promise to continue his legacy, saying that would be the best tribute to a man they called a genius, a poet and a friend.
Francois-Henri Pinault, head of the French luxury group PPR which controls McQueen's companies through its Gucci Group, said the company will ensure McQueen's label continues and will build on the brand.
Pinault called McQueen, who killed himself last week, a "genius," a "friend" and a "poet" who was "hurt and lost in a world whose superficiality and lack of ideals he couldn't accept."
