Let\u2019s inaugurate this new section with an undisputed fashion icon.<\/span><br><\/p><br><br><h2>Alexander McQueen: early career<\/h2><p><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\"><b>Alexander McQueen was a British stylist<\/b><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">. Eccentric, with a crazy approach to fashion. To call him a genius is not an exaggeration. He was born and raised in a working-class area of London, and left school at 16 to go work for a tailor specializing in custom made men\u2019s suits. That\u2019s where he found his calling: designing clothes. He paid his dues in fashion workshops, and after a few years he began creating theatrical costumes. He later worked for Romeo Gigli in Milan, became the creative director for Givenchy, graduated in Fashion Design from the prestigious Saint Martin\u2019s School of Art in London, started his own fashion house and swept up prizes and awards, including the 2003 Fashion Designer Award.<\/span><b><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\"> <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">An extraordinary career advancing at the speed of light<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">.<\/span><\/b><\/p><br><br><h2>His visionary style<\/h2><p><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\"><b>Alexander McQueen was a cultured man<\/b><\/span> <span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">and his style strongly reflected his theatrical and artistic knowledge. Among his sources of inspiration were Gothic art, the Renaissance, and the Victorian Age. He admired Marina Abramovic, Isabella Blow and Elsa Schiaparelli. He was a friend of Lady Gaga\u2019s and worked with her on many occasions. She was his perfect muse. His fashion shows were sometimes gut-wrenching and reminiscent of Seventeenth Century drama, full of plot twists and over-the-top costumes.<\/span><b><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\"> <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">He wasn\u2019t trying to get people to like him<\/span><\/b><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">, his clothes bore messages that were not always happy but they were definitely relatable in their frail humanity. That, I believe, was part of his magnetic charm. For a fashion show, he once chose a model whose legs had been amputated, he turned Lady Gaga into an alien with bizarre dresses and made his models wear birds\u2019 nests on their heads \u2013 with eggs and all<\/span>.<strong> <\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\"><b>We miss Alexander McQueen<\/b><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">. The world of high fashion has lost a great star, but luckily we still have all of his work to remind us how talented he was, and how educational and how much fun it can be to defy and break the rules.<\/span><\/p><br><br><p><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">The Alexander McQueen exhibition \u2018Savage Beauty\u2019 is being held at the<b> <\/b><\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.vam.ac.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\"><b>Victoria and Albert Museum<\/b><\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\"> <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">in London until August 2nd.
