Alexander McQueen

Alexander McQueen was the most gifted and troubled visionary in modern fashion, a boy from the East End who graduated from tailoring on Savile Row to staging the most technically brilliant and emotionally devastating runway shows ever seen. His work explored death, nature, sexuality, and trauma with a ferocity that left audiences breathless and changed what fashion was allowed to be. Since his death in 2010, the house has continued under Sarah Burton and now Seán McGirr, carrying forward the technical obsession and dark romanticism that made McQueen irreplaceable. McQueen Kingdom and the fragrance line carry the same wild beauty into everyday life.
