To coincide with the beginning of London Fashion Week, the British Fashion Council will be paying tribute to late British designer Alexander McQueen.
The BFC has put up a wall in the main tent at London Fashion week where visitors will be allowed to leave notes for the designer and his family.
A spokeswoman for the Fashion Council said they "want to give the industry a place where they can pay their respects."
Once fashion week is over, the notes will be collected and made into a book for the McQueen family.

Sad.
At Naomi Campbell's Fashion For Relief Haiti Thursday night, Kate Moss broke down in tears when a dress from Alexander McQueen's last collection was put up for auction.
Kate considered Lee to be one of her really close friends and it's obvious she's still shaken up from his suicide.
Luckily the dress was bought by a nice guy. Kate's TopShop boss Sir Philip Green had the winning bid of £100,000, which will go toward Haiti relief efforts.

More details are slowly coming out about the tragic death of Alexander McQueen.
According to the coroner, there was a note left behind by the designer before hanging himself in his wardrobe.
Coroner's officer Lynda Martindill kept the details to a minimum, saying: "The coroner said a note had been found and is being looked at by the police".
They have already ruled the nonsuspicious cause of death as asphyxia and hanging and are keeping the case open until April 28th to complete a full post-mortem report.
So so sad.
