Alexander McQueen

Founded in London in 1992 by Lee Alexander McQueen, trained by the tailors of Savile Row, the house established itself with surgically precise tailoring used to serve a romantic and dark aesthetic. Its runway shows, among the most theatrical in fashion history, redefined what a catwalk could convey. Owned by the Kering group since 2001, Alexander McQueen continues this dialogue between British tailoring and subversion, from the corseted bustier to the signature oversized sneakers. The artistic direction carries on the legacy of the founder, who passed away in 2010, blending couture craftsmanship with a distinctly gothic aesthetic.
