Alexander McQueen презентация

If we had to pick one word to describe Alexander McQueen, it's controversial. He was fashion's "bad boy". Famous for his temperamental attitude, theatrical presentations, and armadillo heels, McQueen made a monumental impact on the industry before his tragic death in 2010.

Alexander McQueen worked as chief designer at Givenchy from 1996 to 2001, and founded his own Alexander McQueen label in 1992. McQueen died by suicide in 2010, at the age of 40, at his home in Mayfair, London. Now Alexander McQueen is a British luxury fashion house founded by designer Alexander McQueen in 1992. It's current creative director is Sarah Burton.

The luxury fashion house quickly became known for their over the top and occasionally controversial fashion statements. Just like his fashion, the Alexander McQueen logo is a fresh take on a traditional fashion house logo.

Alexander McQueen's collections are known for both the emotional power and raw energy of his shows as well as the romantic but determinedly contemporary nature of this clothes. It's typical of McQueen to use the juxtaposition between contrasting elements; fragility and strength, tradition and modernity and fluidity and severity. He's collections combine an in-depth working knowledge of bespoke British tailoring, the fine workmanship of the French Haute Couture atelier and the impeccable finish of Italian manufacturing.

Key elements of McQueen's aesthetic include: roman, gothic, victorian-inspired pieces, like dark colors, thick fabrics, and red lace, animal-inspired textiles, especially animal skins, as well as frequent use of bird motifs, pieces inspired by military uniforms, traditional Japanese kimonos, and Latin America.
