Alexander McQueen


McQueen was a British fashion designer and courturier. He was born the youngest of six children and attended Carpenter Road Primary School soon followed by his attendance at Rokeby School.. He began making dresses for his sisters at a very young age, always knowing he wanted to pursue a fashion career and make a name for himself. McQueen's early runway collections developed his reputation for convtroversy and shock tactics, always bringing drama and extravagance to the catwalk. He always used new techonology in his shows with the intention of adding a twist to his shows.








McQueen had many accomplishments in his short life, earning the title  "British Designer of the Year." I was really impressed with McQueen's fashion sense and  also found a resemblance between his and Vivienna Westwood's styles. It is very unfortunate to have lost him so soon because I'm sure he would have left people with their jaws dropped with his new, fancy, elegant styles. Before knowing much about him, I knew Duchess Katherine Middleton's wedding dress was designed by the McQueen Team and it saddens me to know he was unable to live such an incredible moment in his life. I remember seeing Katy Perry and Lady Gaga wearing different outfits which caught my attention, but I never knew McQueen was behind these genius styles.
