Alexander McQueen
About
Lee Alexander McQueen, who trained on Savile Row and at Central Saint Martins, established the brand with collections noted for technical tailoring skill, dramatic presentations, and conceptual narratives. The house gained recognition for pushing boundaries in fashion design while maintaining a foundation in British tailoring craftsmanship. Under Sarah Burton, the brand evolved toward a softer, romantic aesthetic while retaining McQueen's emphasis on construction and craft. Burton designed the wedding dress worn by Catherine, Princess of Wales, in 2011.
Alexander McQueen's product range includes men's and women's ready-to-wear, leather goods, shoes, accessories, eyewear, and fragrances. The Skull scarf and knuckle-duster clutch bag are among the house's most recognized accessories. The McQueen sneaker, featuring an oversized sole, has become one of the brand's commercially significant products. The house also produces tailored pieces and evening wear from its London atelier.
Alexander McQueen operates boutiques in major cities worldwide, including flagships in London, Paris, New York, and Milan, and sells through its own e-commerce platform and select luxury retailers. The brand's production is based primarily in Italy, with pattern-cutting and design work conducted in London. McQueen Creators, the brand's educational and community initiative, supports emerging craft and design talent.
