As soon as he graduated, Isabella bought all the collections and decided to lead the young talent to success. She was also responsible for the artistic name of the designer, who at that time used his first name, Lee. The relationship between Isabella Blow and Alexander McQueen was a path of love-hate and eccentricism that only ended with the suicide she committed in 2007. The affinity between both created a friendship in self-destruction, and there are many stories about the Blow&#8217;s obsession with McQueen and about how he fostered his friend&#8217;s depressive and self-esteem problems.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_45149\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-45149\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-45149\" src=\"https:\/\/highxtar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Highxtar_Isabella_Blow_Funeral.jpg\" alt=\"Isabella Blow Funeral\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/highxtar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Highxtar_Isabella_Blow_Funeral.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/highxtar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Highxtar_Isabella_Blow_Funeral-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/highxtar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Highxtar_Isabella_Blow_Funeral-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/highxtar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Highxtar_Isabella_Blow_Funeral-973x730.jpg 973w, https:\/\/highxtar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Highxtar_Isabella_Blow_Funeral-508x381.jpg 508w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-45149\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Isabella Blow Funeral<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Isabella\u2019s death hit McQueen hard in a period of time of emotional weakness. The truth is that his personal life was full of difficult episodes since his childhood. His uncle sexually abused him when he was only eleven, something that according to his own sister inspired his works. Realizing that he had HIV and the drug abuse also led to a severe depressive episode.<\/p>\n<pre><strong>Alexander McQueen | Epic Moments<\/strong><\/pre>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rF_HJu0HW80?rel=0&amp;showinfo=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;People forget that fashion is about showing who you are&#8221;<\/strong>, McQueen states in the documentary. The designer captured the horrors and experiences of his life on the catwalk, resulting in a kind of autobiographical metaphors where he revealed, for example, how he suffered the working pressure ending the show with a model with an artificial respirator and covered by moths (Voss, S \/ S 2001), or its inspiration of the dive with a collection where the models seem marine mythological beings (Plato&#8217;s Atlantis, S \/ S 2010). His shows, a hypnotic mixture of theater, fashion show and performance, have become immortal references in the industry.<\/p>\n<pre><strong>Plato's Atlantis by Alexander McQueen<\/strong><\/pre>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/CVN4WUKIzjA?rel=0&amp;showinfo=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Alexander McQueen delighted in drama and catharsis. <strong>&#8220;My shows are about sex, drugs and rock \u2019n\u2019 roll.

A famous quote that served to reveal its extremism and its perspective (and passion) for fashion. For him, in the industry all that matters was the artistic side. Without intending to pretend, without paraphernalia and without seeking recognition of the celebrity world. In one of his shows in New York, it was raining and Kate Moss told him: <em><strong>\u201cLee, you must take Anna Wintour inside, you can\u2019t let her get wet<\/strong><\/em>\u201d.

He made more than a dozen collections a year combining his personal work with his position as creative director at Givenchy. An inconceivable amount of work that he also maintained when he moved to Gucci. The effects did not take long to appear: he lost a lot of weight, got into drug abuse and fantasized about the idea of \u200b\u200bsuicide. In fact, his friend Sebastian Pons confesses that McQueen had in mind to shoot himself on the catwalk as part of the show. <\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_45156\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-45156\" style=\"width: 972px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-45156\" src=\"https:\/\/highxtar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Highxtar_Alexander_McQueen_In_Givencgy_1998.jpg\" alt=\"Aimee Mullins | Givenchy 1998\" width=\"972\" height=\"678\" srcset=\"https:\/\/highxtar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Highxtar_Alexander_McQueen_In_Givencgy_1998.jpg 972w, https:\/\/highxtar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Highxtar_Alexander_McQueen_In_Givencgy_1998-300x209.jpg 300w, https:\/\/highxtar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Highxtar_Alexander_McQueen_In_Givencgy_1998-768x536.jpg 768w, https:\/\/highxtar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Highxtar_Alexander_McQueen_In_Givencgy_1998-508x354.jpg 508w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 972px) 100vw, 972px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-45156\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Aimee Mullins &#8211; She hasn&#8217;t legs &#8211; | Givenchy 1998<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The work absorbed his life and soured his character. The biography <em>&#8216;<strong>Alexander McQueen: Blood Beneath the Skin<\/strong><\/em>&#8216; (Andrew Wilson, 2015) describes an unpleasant, egocentric and misogynistic facet of the designer. A psychotic side that undoubtedly increased when he was under the influence of drugs or alcohol. On the other hand, there was a solidarity and endearing facet too. McQueen donated large amounts of money to various charities and most of his inheritance is administered in Sarabande, a foundation he created for young designers without resources.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-45153\" src=\"https:\/\/highxtar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Highxtar_Alexander_McQueen_Close.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"3000\" height=\"1500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/highxtar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Highxtar_Alexander_McQueen_Close.jpg 3000w, https:\/\/highxtar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Highxtar_Alexander_McQueen_Close-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/highxtar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Highxtar_Alexander_McQueen_Close-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/highxtar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Highxtar_Alexander_McQueen_Close-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/highxtar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Highxtar_Alexander_McQueen_Close-973x487.jpg 973w, https:\/\/highxtar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Highxtar_Alexander_McQueen_Close-508x254.jpg 508w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 3000px) 100vw, 3000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If fashion, like painting, had different artistic movements, Alexander McQueen would undoubtedly be the creator and only member of his own.
