Her Instagram is filled with photos of the late designer, each captioned with "best friend" and "love of my life".
Their friendship developed when she was 22-years-old, and she became his muse.
Neilson told in 2015: “He was my brother, my boyfriend, my soulmate. Most of the time people called me Mrs McQueen. Quite often we were sharing a bed.
“The truth is I was happier with Lee [McQueen] than with anyone else. He asked me to marry him towards the end and I said no. I wish now that I had said yes.”
