ALEXANDER MCQUEEN

Alexander McQueen is my favourite fashion designer and my favourite brand , even tough some people doesn't like his design because its "too weird" I still like his design. His design is creative, beautiful and dramatic.

But sadly he passed away on February 11, 2010. He hanged him self after 9 days of his mother death. And McQueen was openly gay. That is him:

 Even Alexander McQueen is already passed way, the brand Alexander McQueen must go on. So currently the creative director is Sarah Burton. But first before we talk about Sarah Burton lets talk about Alexander McQueen Most Memorable Fashion Moment:

 

1. Playing Game Of Chess (SS 2005)

Using a futuristic chess game as mise en scene, McQueen this time offers up an intricately worked and determinedly youthful collection featuring pieces that whisper of fashion fantasy although always with a typically tough edge.

2. The Widows Of Culloden (AW 2006)

At the end of his Fall 2006 runway show, a puff of white smoke appeared inside an empty glass pyramid and quickly twisted into the shape of one Kate Moss. The haunting, dreamlike vision — a state-of-the-art hologram that has to be seen on video to be believed — proved he was not only a meticulous craftsman but also a true performance artist.

3.Paying Homage to Isabella

In May 2007, McQueen's muse, Isabella Blow, took her own life. Several months later, the creative mastermind paid tribute to her in his Spring 2008 collection. The vibrant bird theme, with intricate feather detailing and fanciful hats, encapsulated her perfectly 

 

4. The Horn Of Plenty (AW 2009)

 

Revolutionizing Your Mother's Houndstooth: For his Fall 2009 collection, McQueen took the traditional houndstooth and turned it into an avant-garde affair. He coupled the black-and-white checks with oversized red lips and bizarre 'dos — some with soda cans. "I find beauty in the grotesque, like most artists," McQueen has said. "I have to force people to look at things." 

 

5. Plato's Atlantis (SS 2010)

 

In his last major show before he died, McQueen shocked audiences as he sent down the Spring 2010 runway models with gravity-defying hair wearing futuristic, reptile-patterned, digitally printed dresses and incredibly made 10-inch Armadillo heels. Upon first seeing the shoes, several catwalkers refused to take part in his show, but now the look, like most of McQueen's fashion experiments, can be found in fashion magazine spreads and worn by the likes of Lady Gaga and Demi Moore. 

6. Angels & Demons (unofficial name) - His final works (AW 2010)

Showcasing His Final Works

A month after his February death, his last works were given final honors at Paris' Fall 2010 Fashion Week in a quiet showcase. The 16 outfits presented were 80 percent complete by the time he took his own life. Sarah Burton, now creative director of Alexander McQueen, said at the time that he wanted to get back to the craft he loved with this collection. "He was looking at the art of the Dark Ages, but finding light and beauty in it," she said. "He was coming in every day, draping and cutting pieces on the stand."
