Alexander McQueen was a British fashion designer, whose short-lived life and even his shorter career span have left behind a terrene of unseen and peerless works of art for the world. Before his fans could expect some more from his ingenious and newfangled creations, he was gone never to return again.

Alexander was best known for his in-depth knowledge in bespoke British tailoring (a clothing item made to a buyer’s specification (personalized or tailored).

His penchant to juxtapose fragility with strength in his designs, combined with raw energy and emotional power with a tint of sexuality was something which I had never seen before or can find anymore. For me, his works are just like an array of modern art pieces, which have hidden meanings only narrated by the painter.

Alexander had this to say

“Ha! I was really pleased about that. I was looking at it on the monitor, watching everyone trying not to look at themselves. It was a great thing to do in the fashion industry—turn it back on them! God, I’ve had some freaky shows.”

In the similar line, Rajesh Pratap Singh is known for his nominal and understated creative aesthetics with a sharp viewpoint for detailing. Pratap’s analysis with fabric refining and most eminently his innovative praxis of pin tucks has almost become synonymous to his label.
