Still one of the biggest names in fashion six years after his shocking suicide at age 40, designer Alexander McQueen left a massive legacy on the industry he made his own. From the humblest of origins as the flamboyantly gay son to a working-class cabbie, McQueen worked his way to an apprenticeship in London’s Savile Row, the be-all end-all of British style. It was there that he’d earn a reputation as a world-class tailor, and ultimately attract the attentions of major figures such as Prince Charles, Mikhail Gorbachev and the dearly departed David Bowie. He’d take over Givenchy before moving on to his own massively successful label, terraforming the landscape of the fashion biz wherever he went.
