About Alexander McQueen

Alexander McQueen was born in London on March 17th 1969, the youngest of six children. He left school at the age of 16 and was offered an apprenticeship at the traditional Savile Row tailors Anderson and Shephard and then at neighbouring Gieves and Hawkes, both masters in the technical construction of clothing.

From there he moved to the theatrical costumiers Angels and Bermans where he mastered 6 methods of pattern cutting from the melodramatic 16th Century to the razor sharp tailoring which has become a McQueen signature. Aged 20 he was employed by the designer Koji Tatsuno, who also had his roots in British tailoring. A year later McQueen travelled to Milan where he was employed as Romeo Gigli�s design assistant. On his return to London, he completed a Masters degree in Fashion Design at Central Saint Martin�s. He showed his MA collection in 1992, which was famously bought in its entirety by Isabella Blow.

Alexander McQueen shows are known for their emotional power and raw energy, as well as the romantic but determinedly contemporary nature of the collections. Integral to the McQueen culture is the juxtaposition between contrasting elements: fragility and strength, tradition and modernity, fluidity and severity. An openly emotional and even passionate viewpoint is realised with a profound respect and influence for the arts and crafts tradition. Alexander's collections combine an in-depth working knowledge of bespoke British tailoring, the fine workmanship of the French Haute Couture atelier and the impeccable finish of Italian manufacturing.

In less than 10 years McQueen became one of the most respected fashion designers in the world. In October 1996 he was appointed Chief Designer at the French Haute Couture House Givenchy where he worked until March of 2001.

In December 2000, 51% of Alexander McQueen was acquired by the Gucci Group, where he remained Creative Director. Collections include women's ready-to-wear, men's ready-to-wear, accessories, eyewear and fragrance (Kingdom 2003 and MyQueen 2005). Expansion followed and included the opening of flagship stores in New York, London, Milan, Las Vegas and Los Angeles.

The following awards have recognized Alexander McQueen�s achievement in fashion: British Designer of the year 1996, 1997, 2001, and 2003, International Designer of the Year by The Council of Fashion Designer's of America (CFDA) in 2003, A Most Excellent Commander of The British Empire� (CBE) by her Majesty the Queen in 2003, GQ Menswear Designer of the Year in 2007.

Introducing Vitesse, Europe’s Avant-Garde Motorcycle Boot Company

 

Vitesse was created by Caroline and John Mollanger – two product and brand building experts with 20 years of experience at Nike Inc. and Puma AG – on the evidence that too many motorcycle riders do not wear moto boots.

Vitesse picked among the best talents worldwide for product creation and brand development, to provide riders with the most qualitative experience.

Get more riders to wear boots

At the intersection of product innovation, modern commerce and progressive organization, Vitesse’s mission is to get more riders to wear boots.

The Vitesse boots collection blends innovative moto performance with cutting-edge and comfortable styling.

Beyond traditional boots, Vitesse has developed 3 innovative must-haves that will make riders confident when they ride; comfortable and beautiful on and off the bike. The 2010 products are inspired by iconic footwear such as work shoes, English gentlemen boots and vintage sneakers.

Italian designers return to classic tailoring

MILAN – As the menswear preview winter showings wind down it is clear that designers are not in the mood for sports.

After several seasons of safe casual clothes, Italian designers return to their first love — classic tailoring — and in more than one case, go beyond.

Earlier in the week Dolce&Gabbana presented a latter-day dandy who flaunts a velvet tuxedo jacket worn with distressed jeans. On the third of the four day preview presentations for the fall-winter 2011-2012 Monday, Frida Giannini for Gucci created a new dandy based on the rock-star atmosphere of the 1970s.

While every show has devoted a lot of space to revisited suit wear, luxurious fur and ample outerwear also play a big part in the winter fashion scene.

Fur-trimmings, an extravagant detail, are present in almost every collection. Ostentatious jackets, long coats and big furs are another sign that the good life is back.

The new Gucci suit has a classic cut spiffed up by silk ties and pocket handkerchiefs. The jacket is cut short, the pants have a carefree looseness, and the plaids are strictly British.

But where Gucci really goes to dandy town is in the outerwear. Oversized double-breasted shearling jackets, sleek ostrich leather coats, and a big coat in shaggy Mongolian goat are all superbly over the top.

Donatella Versace created a futuristic 3-dimensional fashion, a sort of menswear Avatar wardrobe, for the winter 2011-2012.
