McQueens Brand to Remain in Business

The fashion house that late designer Alexander McQueen pioneered will soldier on despite his death last week.

Robert Polet, president and CEO of Gucci Group, which held a majority stake in Alexander McQueen, said that the brand will remain.

"We believe in the future of the brand," he said, according to Women's Wear Daily. "Lee was very proud of the people working in his company, and so am I."

McQueen's collection will be presented during Paris Fashion Week as scheduled.
