Since his graduation from London's prestigious school "Central St Martins", he began tailoring for Savile Row suit designers such as "Gieves & Hawkins"- at this time his clients included Prince Charles.
He is particularly famous for his shock-tactic designs...which gained huge popularity with celebrities such as Kate Moss, of whom he created a very close bond with.
During his life, Mcqueen accomplished many achievements, firstly that he was appointed the head designer of Givenchy in his early career and secondly the development of his own brands "Alexander McQueen" and "McQ" which was aimed for a more casual occasion and a younger audience because of its cheaper pricing.
Sadly, Mcqueen committed suicide and was found on 11th February 2010. His death was believed to have been reflective of his mother's death 10 days before.
He will always be remembered for his beautiful works...
