Alexander McQueen....

Alexander McQueen was born in London on March 17th 1969 as the youngest of six children. He left school at the age of 16 and was immediately offered an apprenticeship at the traditional Saville Row tailors Anderson and Shephard and then at neighboring 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 six methods of pattern cutting from the melodramatic 16th Century to the brutally sharp tailoring which has become a McQueen signature. At age 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 gainfully employed as Romeo Gigli's design assistant. He finally returned to London in 1994 where he completed a Masters degree in Fashion Design. His degree collection was famously bought in its entirety by Isabella Blow.

Since leaving St. Martins and in less than 10 years McQueen has become one of the most famous and respected international fashion designers in the world. He was named British Designer of the Year four times in 1996, 1997, 2001 and 2003. In October 1996 he was appointed Chief Designer at the French Haute Couture House Givenchy where he worked until March 2001.

In June 2003 he was awarded International Designer of the Year by The Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) and in the same month honored with 'A Most Excellent Commander of The British Empire' (CBE) by her Majesty the Queen. Alexander was also awarded British Menswear Designer of the Year in 2004.

Alexander McQueen's collections are known for both the emotional power and raw energy of his shows, as well as the romantic but determinedly contemporary nature of his clothes. It is typical of McQueen to use the juxtaposition between contrasting elements; fragility and strength, tradition and modernity, and fluidity and severity. An openly emotional and even passionate viewpoint is realized with a profound respect and influence for the arts and crafts tradition. Alexander 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.

In December 2000 a new partnership saw the Gucci Group acquiring 51% of the company. Recent developments include: the opening of flagship stores in New York, London and Milan, the launch of McQueen fragrances 'Kingdom' and 'MyQueen,' the addition of the new Menswear and Eyewear collections, and most recently, a denim-based collection titled 'McQ'.

Hedi Slimane....

This man is the reason I went into fashion design. Hedi Slimane changed menswear forever. His designs influences are still seen all over the fashion world.Hedi Slimane was really a genus, he brought the whole super skinny wave into fashion. How I wish he was still in the house of Dior. But if rumors are true, he will be coming out with his own label soon....

Bacca Da Silva....

Bacca a Brazilian designer, who effortlessly blends fashion and art has a studio just down my street. I have been in the store before but always forgot to bring my camera. His menswear I thought was really interesting. A large proportion of his clothes was 100% cashmere including his polo shirts which I thought was a refreshing take... Bright stripes, great tailoring, and excellent fabrics make this Brazilian someone to check out.. ...

Brian Lichtenberg...

LA based designer Brian Lichtenberg like many famous designers has a signature design. Chanel with its wool suits, Diane Von Furstenberg's printed wrap dress, Lichtenberg has his super futuristic leggings.. With faithful clients as M.I.A (who is always seen wearing Lichtenberg) Santogold, Yelle, Kanye West, Katy Perry, Lichtenberg has everything performers craved for the stage. But Lichtenberg wants to branch out from this hologram pigonhold. Like implication of his space leggings Lichtenberg wants to blast his brand far away form the "LA" scene, and into the world of high-end status...
