Alexander McQueen

Alexander McQueen is one of Britain’s best known Fashion Designers. London born McQueen left school age 16 and was offered an apprenticeship at Savile Row Tailors Anderson and Shephard. In his early twenties he worked for Koji Tatsuno and then became Romeo Gigli’s design assistant. In less the 10 years McQueen became one of the world’s most respected fashion designers.

The following are some examples of his work. These particular images use nature as their inspiration and personally I think they are really beautiful. They are a good example of how a designer has used the natural world as their source of inspiration.
