Alexander McQueen

I felt like writting about one of my favorite fashion designers. Alexander McQueen. He was born on March 17 1969, and sadly, died February 11, 2010. He was a British fashion designer and courtier best known for his in-depth knowledge of bespoke British tailoring, his tendency to juxtapose strength with fragility in his collections, as well as the emotional power and raw energy of his provocative fashion shows.  He is also known for having worked as chief designer at Givenchi  from 1996 to 2001 and for founding his own label under the name Alexander McQueen His achievements in fashion earned him four British Designer of the Year awards (1996, 1997, 2001 and 2003), as well as the CFDA's International Designer of the Year award in 2003.
