MA at Central St Martins

Gigili and his partner split a year later and the company came under pressure. The hype over this fashion design went flat. McQueen returned back to London in which he decided to apply for a teaching job at Central Saint Martins in pattern cutting.They had no openings but instead he took a Masters degree at the college, which has been a course to other designers such as John Galliano and Rifat Ozbek. His graduate collection was famously bought by Vogue fashion editor Isabella Blow, who later comitted suicide in 2007. McQueens Spring/Summer 2008 collection was dedicated to her.



Alexander McQueen Spring/Summer 2008 - influence: Elizabeth How, the woman convicted of being a witch in 1692 - a collection that was softer, less controversial, less rebellious/angry.
