orn in the East End and the son of a taxi driver, Alexander McQueen was the quintessential bad boy made good. He had brains and brawn, having survived over ten years as a solo designer and being brought into the Gucci Group stable, which bought a 51 per cent stake in his company 2002. In 2008, his company not only turned a profit but was also opening new stores from LA to Beirut.



Styling Elements


The ultra Modern Style The Late Alexander McQueen is quite rightfully known as the most established designer in Britain, Alexander Mcqueen is known for creating drama through his garments. His provocative work was more than just fashion; it was often politically motivated, inspired by art, theater, music, and literature, and always made a statement. And McQueen’s controversy went far beyond actual clothing. His attitude and runway presentations shocked many. Alexander McQueen is known for making pieces that are more artistic and conceptual than they are wearable. The whole look is inspired by Alexander Mcqueen Provocative work. Start with a well-tailored avant guard jacket with impala horn coming out of the shoulders and neckline since McQueen was a master of tailoring. With a black maxi cape top, a pattern that shows up in most of his collections, then cinch the waist with a brown belt. Finish with brown knee length boots and red lipstick for pops of color, as well as a Oxidised Silver owl-themed ring.

Clothes and jewellery should be startling, individual. When you see a woman in my clothes, you want to know more about them. To me, that is what distinguishes good designers from bad designers. The whole look is mixture ultra modern style. The whole look gives the complete feeling of warrior. Accorting to him”The world needs fantasy, not reality. We have enough reality today.” So he always try to create some drama through his garments
