What very sad and shocking news! Thank you for spotting it and posting it so quickly SCW. He's gone too young.
I used to love watching Lennie shows. I know he must have been a real handful for the presenters, but why shouldn't they have to work harder every so often? You were always assured of an energetic, entertaining and passionate hour with Lennie. He clearly loved and believed in his brand, and was confident that he knew what his customers wanted.
His dresses are amongst my favourites - I've more Lennie dresses than any other Q brand, and I always get compliments when wearing them, including ones I picked up in clearance/last clicks, TSVs and OTOs. The cut and finish of the dresses was excellent (though I could have done without most of the belts), and it's a testament to his eye for design that the same silhouettes keep returning again and again.
He's been missed and he's left a large Lennie-shaped hole. My condolences to his family, as I bet he's left an even bigger hole in their lives.
