The fearless rebellious and extraordinary life of Alexander McQueen

The youngest of six children Lee Alexander McQueen was expected to become a plumber a bricklayer or possibly a cab driver like his father. Instead McQueens fierce romanticism and punk poetry helped create 1990s era 'Cool Britannia'. For perhaps the first time since the Swinging Sixties a lad from the East End of London could and did become one of the most original and influential artists of the 20th Century. MCQUEEN is a thrilling rags to riches portrait of a complex artistic genius. Through exclusive interviews with McQueens closest friends and family and never before seen archives MCQUEEN reveals an unmatched talent who expressed his darkest fantasies and greatest ambitions through his revolutionary designs and runway shows.
