World of McQueen

Raw energy, Provocative fashion shows,

Juxtapose strength with fragility.

This is Alexander McQueen.

British fashion indeed escalates to another dimension as Alexander McQueen got into the spotlight. His creation demonstrates his true personality of being rebellious to his freedom of expression. Thus, his creativity proved his in depth-knowledge of bespoke cuts and tailoring.

He once said “As a designer you always got to push yourself forward. You've always got to keep up with trends and or make your own trends.” Based from the skills of his apprenticeship, it gave him the huge reputation of the fashion world which brought him to fame. His strong portfolio gave him the chance to be the creative director of Givenchy and Gucci.

Being part of these two fashion houses gained him criticism but that didn’t stop him to create, renovate and explore his imagination and continue to capture audiences with his artistic approach in every runway.

As models strutting in the catwalk, It gained controversies from spraying paint to a hologram, because of his vulgar persuasion to fashion elites and celebrities is always looking forward to not to be part of controversy but to be part of his collection. Editors attest, he has the vision of authentic artistry. His collections may not be wearable by common people, but he always defined and set new trend and in style in fashion. Alexander McQueen “extraordinary imagination ran the gamut from the breathtakingly lovely and to the plain and morbid.” Why? “I used to do it to checked people, to provoke a reaction, but now I just do it for myself. The show always reflects where I am emotionally in my own life” he quotes.

Some of his famous masterpieces . . .

With his fast rising to stardom celebrities are flocking to be dressed by him custom-made. I wonder how much his creations are figured, five to six digits perhaps. But still “At the end of the day, I’m left with the real me. What you see is what you get” his famous line because he believes “I’m interested in designing for posterity. People who buy McQueen are going to hand the clothes to their children, and that’s very rare today."

Sad but then he was found the dead and people are grieving because of his lose. “We are deeply touched for the sudden death of Alexander McQueen, a designer whom we have always admired for his creative genius and unmatched inspiration. He leaves the fashion world with an infallible void.” No one can beat him. No one will ever be as good as him. “He was a charming man but also quite fragile.”

RIP Alexander McQueen.
