Speaking from her New York home Field told RadarOnline.com, “Needless to say I was totally shocked when I heard the news and my stomach just dropped.
“Both Alexander’s energy and the fantasy of his designs were such a pleasure and at least we will have the memory of those.
“I greatly admired his work and his clothes regularly appeared in Sex And The City over the years.
“All I can say is that as from one artist to another he truly spoke the language of art through his designs.
“Cream always floats to the top and that was Alexander McQueen’s designs, it’s just very sad.”
McQueen, 40, reportedly hung himself at his Mayfair, London, apartment after becoming deeply depressed following the recent death of his mother Joyce.
