ALEXANDER MCQUEEN

ALEXANDER MCQUEEN

"McQueen is a British luxury house founded by Lee Alexander McQueen. Established in London in 1992, the house joined the Kering Group in 2001. In 2010, Sarah Burton was named Creative Director, having worked alongside McQueen for over 14 years. Since December 2023, the house has been under the creative direction of Seán McGirr. From its inception, McQueen has been defined by its expression of individuality and subversive strength. Rooted in Lee Alexander McQueen’s training on Savile Row, the house pushes the boundaries of British tailoring traditions, emphasizing cut, proportion, and silhouette. Inspiration is often drawn from nature, British heritage, and contemporary culture, with a distinct narrative woven throughout the house’s collections and fashion shows. McQueen became renowned for a theatrical and innovative approach, with shows that were emotionally impactful and often provocative, creating a sense of spectacle. Today, with a design studio and atelier based in London, the house upholds its foundational values, known for its uncompromising creative vision and incisive tailoring."
