British designer Alexander McQueen designed 36 womenswear collections under his eponymous fashion label during a career that lasted from 1992 until his death in 2010. As a designer, McQueen was known for sharp tailoring, historicism, and imaginative designs that often verged into the controversial. His runway shows were known for being dramatic and theatrical, with some including elements of performance art. McQueen drew inspiration for his clothing and shows from a broad range of sources, including film, history, nature, world religions, art, and his own life. Through his work, he explored themes such as romanticism, sexuality, and death.
He used unusual cuts and silhouettes to play with the human form, making wearers appear inhuman. Early in his career, he originated an extreme low-rise trouser cut called the "bumster", which became a brand signature. Other significant designs include the skull scarf, another brand signature, and the armadillo shoe, often worn by singer Lady Gaga.
Womenswear was the focus of McQueen's career. In his early collections, he sometimes presented menswear or had male models walk in the shows, but his label did not have a regular menswear line until 2004. From 1996 to October 2001, McQueen was – in addition to his responsibilities for his own label – head designer at French fashion house Givenchy, for which he produced both haute couture and ready-to-wear collections each season. This article concerns itself with McQueen's own-label womenswear collections.
