Mcqueen

[Machine Translation] A life more dramatic than dramatic, in which he made clothes as if he were in love and even gave his life for them. (A dramatic and emotional documentary that explores the life of Alexander McQueen, the fashion rebel loved by David Bowie, Bjork, Lady Gaga, and Catherine, Princess of Wales. --A young man from a working class background in London who was unable to afford daily meals, McQueen made his debut as a fashion designer at the age of 23, using his unemployment insurance to fund his career. His sensational shows, one after the other, were met with both critical acclaim and bashing, and his name (Alexander McQueen) quickly spread throughout the world. In 1996, at the age of 27, McQueen surprised the world by being chosen as a designer for the famous and elegant Parisian house ( Givenchy ). His shows for his own brand became more and more extreme and he was dubbed the "rebel of the mode," but his fame only grew until he was awarded the Order of the British Empire at the age of 34. However, at the age of 40, at the height of his wealth and fame, he suddenly took his own life. Who was he, how did he achieve the fairy-tale success of today, and why did he burn out?
