ALEXANDER MCQUEEN
Alexander McQueen was born in 1970 in the East End, where he grew up. Whilst growing up, McQueen done an apprenticeship with Savile Row tailors Anderson and Sheppard, where he learnt a lot of techniques used in his designs. In 1991 his entire degree show was bought by influential stylist Isabella Blow. By 1992 he earned his master's degree in fashion design from London's Central Saint Martins. Towards the end of his career, his spring/summer 2010 collection, which featured alien-inspired make-up and reptilian prints, was lauded as his best and last by the fashion press.
