Hailed as one of the most innovative designers of this time, Savile Row-trained Lee Alexander McQueen was a fashion visionary whose shows fused radical theatrics with exquisite tailoring. Lee Alexander McQueen launched his eponymous label in 1992. Acclaimed for his daring silhouettes, exquisite tailoring and theatrical shows that mix dark glamour with a romantic femininity, McQueen'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. Since 2010, Sarah Burton has taken the helm of the house of McQueen, continuing Alexander McQueen's legacy and adding another dimension to the brand's aesthetic. For a dose of drama, look to Alexander McQueen's selection of hats. In architectural silhouettes, these hats are truly iconic.
