Alexander McQueen

 Alexander McQueen was a extremely talented British fashion designer. He began his fashion design training at age sixteen.  He left home for an apprenticeship with British tailors then on to theatrical costuming.  From there he completed his masters in fashion design and since then has been a sensation. He worked for French Haute Couture House of Givency  from 1996 - 2000 and also sold 51% of stock to GUCCI and continued to as Creative Director.   He has won numerous Designer of the Year awards and a GQ Designer of the Year award in 2007. His designs resemble a fantasy feel of sensuality.  Elegance mixed with traditional fashion style. Alexander's shows have a reputation for igniting an emotional power; the audience is transported to a world filled with artistically designed clothing that- flows and billows-as the models walk. Delicate, fragile, feminine designs contrasted with traditional contemporary style lines.
