Passionate and depressing in a good way. McQueen is all about real women with complex feelings.
'Lee' Alexander McQueen was born on March 17, 1969, in Lewisham, London. He became head designer of the Louis Vuitton-owned Givenchy fashion line and, in 2004, launched his own menswear line.He enrolled at Central Saint Martin's College of Art & Design, and received his M.A. in fashion design in 1992.The collection he produced as the culminating project of his degree was inspired by Jack the Ripper. McQueen opened stores in New York, Milan, London, Las Vegas and Los Angeles.In 2000, Gucci bought a 51 percent stake in Alexander McQueen's private company, and provided the capital for McQueen to expand his business.Alexander McQueen shows are known for their emotional power and raw energy, as well as the romantic but determinedly contemporary nature of the collections.
