How would you describe Alexander McQueen’s fashions?
1 Answer

One way to describe Alexander McQueen's fashions is through his own words. “What you see in the work is the person himself. And my heart is in my work,” McQueen told Harper’s Bazaar in 2007. McQueen’s inspirations came from many quarters — film, music, current events, history, his heritage and fashions of the past. His runway presentations were not just displays of clothing but were personal expressions of the zeitgeist, often touching on our cultural anxieties and concerns. McQueen’s own thoughts and feelings about love, death, gender, genocide, colonialism, global warming and the extinction of species all appear in his pieces.
