Alexander McQueen Jackets Section:
Lee McQueen, who would later find fame as fashion visionary Alexander McQueen,
was born on 17th March 1969 in London. Surprisingly, the boy destined for a
future in high couture and style was fathered by a polyester clad London cabbie.
By the time he was sixteen, McQueen had decided to devote himself entirely to fashion. He dropped out of school and took an apprenticeship at the Savile Row tailors ‘Anderson and Shepherd’. This experience gave him the opportunity to sharpen his technical clothes making skills and tailoring, skills for which he is famed today.
