Founded in 1992 by Lee Alexander McQueen, a Savile Row–trained tailor whose provocative genius redefined British fashion, the house of Alexander McQueen remains a pillar of avant-garde luxury. Known for blending raw, punk-inflected energy with exquisite couture craftsmanship, the brand established a reputation for theatrical runway spectacles and designs that explore the tension between fragility and strength. Following the founder’s passing, Sarah Burton successfully steered the house for over a decade, softening its edge with a focus on nature and craft while producing commercial hits like the Oversized Sneaker.
