"The main theme of my shows is sex, drugs and rock'n'roll. Life should be exciting and give you goosebumps. Heart attacks. Ambulance sirens.” The life of Lee Alexander McQueen is like a modern-day Cinderella fairy tale interwoven with gothic gloom.
It's the story of an inconspicuous teenager from a working-class London family who overcame his demons and created a world-renowned fashion brand that made him an icon of the century. How did this punk rebel manage to conquer the high fashion world of Paris and leave his mark on the dizzying and revolutionary era of Cool Britannia? And why did he bring it all to a shocking end at the height of his fame and power?
The film reflects the wild beauty, courage and vitality of McQueen's work. It is an intimate glimpse into the tortured and flighty world of a radical and enchanting fashion genius whose influence on the fashion world has been immeasurable.
Fashion designer Britt Samoson will make an introduction to the film screenings.
