	Alexander McQueen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Alexander McQueen (born Lee McQueen, 17 March 1969) is one of the most influential English fashion designers.
		McQueen went on to leave school at 16, landing himself an apprenticeship with top Savile Row tailors Anderson and Shepherd, then working for Gieves and Hawkes and the famous theatrical costumiers Angels and Bermans.
		McQueen toned down his act at Givenchy, but continued to indulge his rebellious streak, causing controversy in Autumn '98 with a show which included car-robots spraying paint over white cotton dresses, and double amputee model Aimee Mullins striding down the catwalk on intricately carved wooden legs.

	Alexander Mcqueen
		Born in the East End of London in 1970, the son of a taxi driver, Alexander McQueen fast rose through the fashion ranks to become one of the leading lights of international design.
		Having introduced his label, McQueen managed to secure tabloid headlines with the launch of his infamous, low-cut 'bumsters', while his beautifully crafted and often outrageous designs attracted a small but fiercely loyal clientele, including such influential fashion figures as stylist Isabella Blow, who was sitting on the front row of his MA show.
		Despite the shock tactics, however, McQueen is roundly recognised as a highly innovative designer, with superb tailoring skills particularly by his new bosses at the Gucci Group.
