If there ’ s one designer who ’ s known for creating chaos on the catwalk , it ’ s Alexander McQueen . The British designer , known as the “ Fashion Rebel ”, had a meteoric rise to fame in the early 2000s , and his legacy continues after his passing with an infinitely stylish label .

He channelled his passion for Roman Gothic architecture and the Victorian era using dark colours , thick fabric , and metallic embellishments , which have been used to inspire this home office design .
One of McQueen ’ s most famous designs was the iconic skull motif . The skull print scarf became the world ’ s must-have accessory in 2003 , with celebrities such as Johnny Depp and Cameron Diaz keen to try McQueen ’ s rock ‘ n ’ roll look . The skull motif was soon transported from the catwalk to the high street , appearing on a variety of apparel , from handbags and shoes to hoodies and t-shirts . Now , it ’ s even featured in a home office !
