Alexander McQueen Rugs and Carpets
British, 1969-2010
British fashion designer Lee Alexander McQueen, the original creative engine behind the Alexander McQueen label, was beloved for his expert tailoring and theatrical runway shows. After his suicide in 2010, fans left tributes to the man and his talents outside Alexander McQueen boutiques worldwide. Record-breaking crowds visited the posthumous retrospective of the designer’s work at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City and the Victoria and Albert in London.
The inspirations for vintage Alexander McQueen bags, dresses, jackets and other items came from many quarters — film, music, current events, history, his heritage and fashions of the past. The designer's 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.
McQueen certainly shook up fashion; he was a born Rottweiler. His upbringing on a council estate in north London played a part, but his family was close and supportive, not dysfunctional. He was proud of his Scottish heritage: He was a defiant fashion warrior. His historical themes and shows — such as “Highland Rape,” 2002, which was inspired by England’s “rape of Scotland,” as McQueen called it — always invoked powerful reactions from his audience of fashion pros.
“What you see in the work is the person himself. And my heart is in my work,” McQueen told Harper’s Bazaar in 2007.
It is perhaps this heart, and the heart’s exposure, that drew the crowds and made McQueen's creations both popular and emotionally resonant. Because the work was personal and thus layered with feeling, the motifs — decorative embellishments and fabric choices — have meaning. In other words, in McQueen’s oeuvre, plaid is more than simply a pattern.
Find vintage Alexander McQueen fashion and accessories — including the designer's coveted bags and comfortable, stretchy jersey knit dresses and gowns — on 1stDibs.

Questions About Alexander McQueen Rugs and Carpets
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022No, Alexander McQueen shoes do not usually run small. Most people find that they fit true to size. Consult the official size chart on the brand's website to determine which shoe size is right for you. Find a selection of Alexander McQueen shoes on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022The best way to clean Alexander McQueen sneakers depends on the material. Generally, you can wipe off surface dirt with a dry microfiber cloth. Tackle stubborn stains with a cleaning product designed for the material, such as a leather or suede cleaner. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of Alexander McQueen sneakers.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022You can authenticate Alexander McQueen sneakers in a variety of ways. One option is to examine the stitching that connects the upper to the outsole. On genuine sneakers, the stitching stops at the point where the sole texture shifts from smooth to rough. Stitching often extends past that point on replicas. Alternatively, check the back of the tongue. Genuine Alexander McQueen designs show the style name and size in the same dark gold numbers toward the center. The fonts may vary in color and size or appear closer to the top of the tongue on fakes. You'll find a range of expertly vetted Alexander McQueen sneakers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022A simple way to authenticate an Alexander McQueen scarf is to examine the Alexander McQueen logo printed along one edge. From the top of the scarf, the logo appears the same color as the rest of the print. When viewed from underneath, the text appears black. The underside logo has a faded quality like the print on a fake. On 1stDibs, find a collection of expertly vetted Alexander McQueen scarves.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022To begin to tie Alexander McQueen sneakers in the brand's trademark style, point the shoe away from you and pass the lace from the bottom left eyelet through the center tab and out through the upper right eyelet. Then, take the end of the lace on the left side and pull it across the shoe through the bottom right eyelet. From there, thread through the second-lowest left-hand eyelet. Cross the lace over to the bottom right-hand eyelet and continue in this fashion until you lace it all the way. Then, tie the ends in a bow.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022To wash a silk Alexander McQueen scarf correctly, follow the care instructions printed on the tag. In most cases, the brand recommends washing their silk scarves by hand with a mild detergent and then hanging to dry. On 1stDibs, find a selection of Alexander McQueen scarves.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022You can wear an Alexander McQueen scarf in many ways. One popular option is to fold the scarf into a triangle and then wear it with the point filling the neckline of your top or dress or turned to the side so that it drapes over one shoulder. Alternatively, fold it into a slim rectangle and tie in a bow. You'll find a collection of Alexander McQueen scarves on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022Yes, Alexander McQueen Oversized sneakers typically are true to size for most people. The name Oversized does not refer to the fit of the shoe. Rather, it describes the chunky proportions of the sole. Find a range of Alexander McQueen sneakers on 1stDibs.
