Alexander Mcqueen leaves the legacy of being the immensly talented rebel of the high fashion industry. He tragically died on Feb 10, 2010, taking his own life just a few days after losing his mother. He was famously discovered by the late, eccentric fashion stylist, Isabella Blow.
Blow purchased Mcqueens entire first collection that he created while attending Saint Martins College of Art & Design in London, England. Before attending design school Mcqueen took part in various fashion related internships and job positions where he developed his technical skills relating to the construction of clothing. He also worked with a theatrical costume company - which is quite evident when seeing an Alexander Mcqueen runway show.
By 2006, Alexander Mcqueens self titled label (which is owned by Gucci) had independant boutiques all over the world and was a staple in celebrity wardrobes. He will be cherished for decades and remembered as one of the great icons in fashion.
