McQueen. A direct, recognizable title, that of the documentary directed and produced by Ian Bonhôte and Peter Ettedgui. As incisive and in the memory is the fashion of Alexander McQueen, creator of worlds, born in 1969 in London, the city in which he takes his life in 2010.
Films from different contexts – from backstage to those taken from repertoire images, to exclusive interviews with many friends and the press, grateful to Lee for bringing new life to fashion in the years he worked there. Sarah Burton, the British designer’s successor as creative director of the fashion house, declined the invitation at the last minute.
Each stage of the designer’s life is told: since one of his muses Isabella Blow, who disappeared in the same way, advised him to add his name to the brand, as doing so would have been more elegant, up to the last years of his career. Images imprinted in the history of fashion like the performance in which a model poses in the center of the catwalk, and is painted by ink jets from robots, to the hologram of Kate Moss inside the pyramid of the Louvre museum in Paris.
Waiting to see it in theaters, the world premiere of the film, lasting 111 minutes, will be held in New York on the afternoon of 22 April at the latest edition of the Tribeca Film Festival.
