Alexander Mcqueen

I was told to research a contemporary fashion artist and  Alexander Mcqueen was the one I first though of.


Lee Alexander McQueen, was born on the 17 March 1969 and past away on the  11 February 2010. McQueen died days before London Fashion Week He was a British fashion Designer and couturier best known for his in-depth knowledge of bespoke British tailoring his tendency to juxtapose female strength and sensuality with fragility in his collections, as well as the emotional power and raw energy of his provocative fashion shows. 

His Final show:  Right before Alexander McQueen's death he had an eighty percent unfinished autumn/ winter collection, 16 pieces, presented in Paris during 2010 Fashion Week. Fashion editors picked his final designs. Editors said the show was hard to watch because it showed how McQueen was obsessed with the afterlife. The clothes had a medieval and religious look. Basic colours that were repetitively used were red, gold and silvers with detailed embroidery. His models were accessorized to show his love for theatrical imagery. "Each piece is unique, as was he," McQueen's fashion house said in a statement that was released with the collection. Below are some of his Amazing collections :







After looking at his cloths line and reflected on it, I have realised the leaves/flowers are used to make the dresses more sombre and unique. I will introduce leave in my final garment to create a different texture in my garment.
