LONG LIVE MCQUEEN

 Who is McQueen?

Born on March 17, 1969, in Lewisham, London, Alexander McQueen became head designer of the Louis Vuitton-owned Givenchy fashion line. In 2004 he launched his own menswear line, earned the British Fashion Council's British Designer of the Year award four times. 

Earning the title "l'enfant terrible" and "the hooligan of English fashion", The McQueen house's early collections developed its reputation for controversy and shock tactics. 

"I design clothees because I don't want women to look innocent and naive. I want woman to look stronger. I don't like women to be taken advantage of. I don't like men whistling at women in the street. I think they deserve more respect. I like men to keep their distance from women, I like men to bestunned by an entrance. I've seen a woman get nearly beaten to death by her husband. I know what misogyny is, I want people to be afraid of the women I dress."
