London-born fashion designer Lee Alexander McQueen (1969 - 2010) was renowned for his conceptually daring and beautifully crafted ensembles. His theatrical catwalk shows are now the stuff of fashion legend, and his work remains hugely influential. In this film, McQueen’s friends, family and contemporaries reflect on the life and extraordinary career of fashion’s ultimate ‘enfant terrible’.

  • Alexander McQueen was one of the few clothing designers that implemented nearly every art style into his designs.
  • I first fell in love with Alexander McQueen as a kid browsing through fashion magazines and seeing his ethereal works on those beautful models posing at the edge of the runway for a photo. It inspired me to pursue art. That was about 15 years ago. Now I still am pursuing it. I have to say, I've never ever experienced anything like Alexander McQueen.
  • One the best fashion designer in our lifetime, there will never be another Alexander McQueen, And Versace

    To live in THAT level of being true to oneself is absolutely phenomenal! So few can...
  • There’s some serious art going on here. No posing, no pretence. Pure, unadulterated wearable art.
  • I miss you Lee McQueen, I miss your talent I mis the runway I miss the drama I miss your work...
  • McQ makes ART. Pure Art.
  • I never thought I could come to appreciate fashion as an art form until I saw a photo exhibit of some of Alexander McQueen's pieces from his Savage Beauty collection at the de Young Museum in Golden Gate Park. I was smitten so much that I HAD to buy the photo book of the complete collection at the museum gift shop that very same day.
  • I'm so totally not a fashion person, but some of what McQueen did is quite amazing. The textures are so fascinating, from fur and feathers to metal that's practically armour.
  • I'm no designer... but I have loved fashion all my life. When I read the comments below, I'm forced to sit back and think a moment. About my love, about expression, about the fashion "show" in general. I'm an author, so please keep in mind that my daily fashion choices are all about function. But isn't that life, in general? Isn't life so boring that when we crave something different and new, we turn to entertainment - and flat-out expect that it will be bigger, better, more interesting, and frankly (usually) impossible in real life? We watch movies about treasure hunters, star fighters, time travelers. We read books about missions impossible, magic, and miracles. And then we return to our lives a little less bored, a little more capable of facing the next day. The fashion show is no different. It is not a fashion "shopping mart." It is a show. As in show business. Bigger, better, more extravagant - entertaining. Its purpose is to thrill, excite, inspire. And then from these inspiring visions come the wearable fashions that find their ways into the stores next season. These are the toned-down models, the wearable versions of the works of art that graced the catwalk in all of their unwearable glory. The fashion show is a designer's soul, filled with pain and anxiety, depression and nightmares, regrets and loss - and vision and hope. No one who loves fashion will ever forget, for instance, Kate Moss's hologram slowly spinning to Schindler's List because Lee Alexander McQueen wanted to give her a chance and support her. Because that was the kindness of his soul, and she helped him reveal it.
  • It makes me so sad he isn't here to design today. I love his clothing and designs, literal works of art ❤️
  • Except for the "armadillo shoes" I think all of his pieces are simply beautiful works of art! What a shame he isn't here anymore! :(
