Alexander McQueen (fashion house)

Alexander McQueen was a British luxury fashion house founded by designer Alexander McQueen in 1992. Known for its dramatic and avant-garde designs, the brand gained notoriety for its theatrical runway shows, impeccable tailoring, and incorporation of subversive and often macabre themes.

After McQueen's death in 2010, Sarah Burton, who had worked alongside McQueen for many years, was appointed creative director. Burton continued to uphold the brand's legacy of innovation and craftsmanship, while also adding her own feminine sensibility.

The house produces ready-to-wear and accessories for both men and women, as well as haute couture collections under the name McQueen. Signature elements of the brand often include sharply structured silhouettes, intricate embellishments, and a focus on craftsmanship and artistry. The brand is particularly known for its use of skulls, butterflies, and other symbolic motifs.

Alexander McQueen is part of the Kering Group, a French multinational corporation specializing in luxury goods. The brand maintains flagship stores in major cities around the world and is also available through select retailers. The label has received numerous accolades and awards for its contributions to the fashion industry.
