Alexander McQueen
When Alexander McQueen's eponymous brand launched in 1992, it was an immediate hit. The British designer had only just graduated from Central Saint Martin’s School but his rebellious Baroque-Gothic influences meant that he quickly made a name for himself on the fashion scene. In 2001, less than ten years after the creation of his brand and backed by the Kering group, Alexander McQueen decided to expand his business by launching a menswear line, and a perfume... On 11 February 2010, Lee Alexander McQueen took his own life, leaving his brand adrift and the fashion world in mourning.
