Department store Selfridge's has gotten themselves in a bit of hot water. In their manchester store they have hung a McQueen dress from a metal structure that resembles a gallows. This is quite tasteless given the designers  recent suicide by hanging himself in his Mayfair apartment and as expected members of the public were outraged.

In response to the public outcry Selfridges  have apologized and removed the dress from the display.They issued the following statement- " It was never intended to be linked to his death. This was a genuine mistake and not to cause controversy or upset."

Selfridges subsequently removed the dress from the display and replaced it with one by another designer.
