Alexander Mcqueen women's

Known as “l’enfant prodige” and "the hooligan of English fashion”, McQueen was granted four 'British Designer of the Year' awards in 1996, 1997, 2001 and 2003.
He collaborated with many artists, often mixing influences from other artistic fields, and made costumes for David Bowie, Bjork and Lady Gaga and always created fashion shows that were closer to theatre or art performances than catwalks.
In 1996 McQueen was appointed Creative Director at Givenchy, succeeding John Galliano, but his first haute couture collectsion was unsuccessful. He designed for the French brand until 2001, when he declared that his creativity was constrained by the contract with LVHM and ended the contract.
In 2010, shortly after the death of his mother, McQueen committed a suicide.
After the death of Alexander McQueen, Sarah Burton, his right hand for more than 14 years, became the Creative Director of the brand.
Alexander McQueen creates lines of women’s and men’s ready-to-wear, accessories, eye-wear and fragrance and has a younger collectsion labelled MCQ.

Style notes

The style of Alexander McQueen is a combination of extraordinary tailoring and extravagant aesthetic, picking inspiration from different ages and fields, from Scottish traditional garments to fetish wear.
The concept of the collectsions is often beyond the garments themselves, always telling a story and giving a sense of drama. Sensual and provocative, the woman of Alexander McQueen has a dark side and is unpredictable.

Must-Haves: Armadillo shoes, the skull motif, for example on scarves, and the bumster pants.
