Alexander McQueen x Puma Clothing
Saturday, January 17th, 2009
Alexander McQueen and Puma, who have already teamed up on footwear, have joined forces again to create a sports-inspired clothing and accessories line.
Alexander McQueen is the quintessential bad boy made good. He has brains and brawn, having survived over ten years as a solo designer and being brought into the Gucci Group stable, which bought a 51 per cent stake in his company 2002. In 2008, he not only turned a profit but was also opening new stores from LA to Beirut.
• Alexander McQueen was in 1970 in the East End of London - the son of a taxi driver
• He trained on Savile Row at Gieves & Hawkes, where he once embroidered a suit for the Prince of Wales with the words “I am a c**t” (in the lining)
• In 1991 his entire degree show was bought by influential stylist Isabella Blow, whose later suicide in 2007 led to him dedicating his entire spring/summer 2008 collection to her memory.
