Alexander McQueen, a prominent and original fashion designer, died by suicide in 2010 at 40. He gained fame in the 1990s, starting with his Highland Rape collection in 1995. McQueen became the creative lead at Givenchy in 1996. His company expanded under the Gucci Group, but financially struggled compared to competitors. The forthcoming show "House of McQueen," running previews next month and opening officially on September 9, is a tribute to his life and work, emphasizing his journey from humble beginnings to fashion elite.
McQueen took his life in 2010 at the age of 40 in London. Daring and original with his designs and runway shows, the British-born talent burst on the scene in the 1990s.
In 1995, McQueen's controversial Highland Rape collection caught the attention of European luxury titans. In 1996, he became the creative lead at Givenchy.
Despite his accomplishments, McQueen's company did not have the financial might of his rivals during his lifetime.
The theater hosting "House of McQueen" was financed and designed by their company Alexander McQueen LLC. The grand opening will be held on Sept. 9.
