The Fashion Between Revolution and The Ancient Regime
Classe 1969 Lee Alexander McQueen, inizia a lavorare a sedici anni, imparando le basi del mestiere in Savile Row e, successivamente, a Milano, da Romeo Gigli. Terminata l’esperienza in Italia, decide di completare la sua formazione frequentando la Saint Martin’s School of Art di Londra e nel 1992 fonda la propria Fashion House, ottenendo l’immediato supporto e riconoscimento da parte delle più grandi icone della moda britannica. Dal 1996 al 2001 collabora come direttore creativo di Givenchy, maison con cui instaura da subito un rapporto complesso. Proprio qui, però, gli è permesso di dare maggior sfogo alla sperimentazione e alla ridefinizione dei canoni stilistici del marchio.
