Alexander McQueen

British designer Lee Alexander McQueen will always be remembered as an enigmatic force with unparalleled groundbreaking vision. Lovingly known as the “enfant terrible” of fashion, McQueen possessed technical ingenuity, emotional depth, crafted innovation and outrageous flair, which he continuously brought to his couture-like designs and high-octane shows. Born in 1969 in East London, McQueen famously attended Central Saint Martins for womenswear design (the late, eccentric fashion editor Isabella Blow bought his 1994 graduate show in its entirety). Shortly after, McQueen was crowned Best British Designer in 1996 — then again in 1997, 2001 and 2003 — and headed a five-year design stint at Givenchy. McQueen’s defiant collections showcased the best in bespoke British tailoring, the fine workmanship of French haute couture and impeccable finish of Italian manufacturing. Following McQueen’s passing in 2010, French luxury group PPR, parent company of McQueen’s label, appointed McQueen’s right-hand woman, and former head of womenswear design, Sarah Burton, to lead the creative direction and development for the Alexander McQueen brand and contemporary line McQ.
