WHAT?
His signature designs have a motif of a "skull", in his shoes, scarfs, accessories, etc. Alexander Mcqueen is also the best fashion illustrator in the whole world. The way he makes his brush move in particular ways and how they become garments for his various collections is...................MAGIC!
WHEN?
He discovered this talent when he was designing a dress for his sister and fell in love with the sewing machine. Ever since he's been designing and stitching clothes. At a young age he left school and joined Savile Row tailors and later on did theatrical costumes.
WHERE?
As he was a school drop out and worked with Savile Row tailors, he later on applied to Central Saint Martins for a M. A. in Fashion Design. His stores were global, in New York, Milan, London, Las Vegas and Los Angeles.
WHY?
Mcqueen was always a very shy person and curious on what to do with his life and designing clothes was a way of expressing his feelings. This is the "why" to the answer of your question. He just loved making illustrations and making models look beautiful.
HOW?
He described his work as eccentric and electric. He was also influenced by a multitude- homeless to the rich,vulgar to the common etc. He also learnt that the transformation of an entire collection could take place overnight at Givenchy.
