Alexander McQueen is one of the greats. He was the youngest of six children to a father who was a taxicab driver add a mother who was a social studies teacher and genealogist.  At age 16 McQueen left school and was employed at London's Anderson & Sheppard, where he tailored suits for Mikhail Gorbachev and Prince Charles. After working for another tailor and a theatrical costumer, he took work with the Japanese designer Koji Tatsuno in London and then with Romeo Gigli in Italy. McQueen returned to London and enrolled at the fashion college Central Saint Martins (1990–92). There he staged a fashion show for his master’s thesis. The show caught the eye of Isabella Blow, a London stylist. Blow bought McQueen’s entire first collection. In 1992 McQueen debuted a pair of trousers that redefined the traditional cut of the garment. He called them “bumster” trousers—pants cut so low that they revealed the cleavage of the backside. This brought McQueen instant media recognition. In 1996 he was named British Designer of the Year, and later that year he took over as the head designer of Givenchy—the French couture house founded by Hubert de Givenchy in 1952—following Givenchy’s retirement. McQueen was appointed by Bernard Arnault, chairman of Moët Hennessy–Louis Vuitton, which had acquired the French fashion house in 1988. Mcqueens story is one of melancholy- grand, epic and horribly sad. He was and still is an inspiration to all those that realize that fashion is just wearing clothing.
