Alexander McQueen dies aged 40

A very sad day for the fashion world. Lee Alexander McQueen, fashion designer, born 17 March 1969 died 11 ­February 2010.

In 1992 Alexander started his MA at Central Saint Martins college London. His big breakthrough came in 1994 when his graduate collection caught the eye of the fashion stylist Isabella Blow. I graduated in 1995 and like all british design graduates followed his work. Most designers dream to have a career like his, creating his own label and working for a major fashion label. In 1996 he took up the role of chief designer at the Parisian fashion house Givenchy.

McQueen was the bad boy of fashion who was beloved by the establishment.
