Background history
For my artist I chose a designer that I absolutely love. I am a
fashion design major so I thought it would be fitting to use a
designer as my artist. I chose Alexander McQueen. He put out
revolutionary pieces. He was known for runway style extravagant
dresses more than anything. He made a point to push the
boundaries of fashion. Putting the fears that other designers had
pertaining to consumers not wanting to buy out of the box designs
to rest. He was an english fashion designer that worked at
Givenchy, but in 2001 he left to focus on his label full time. Raking
in success by not letting any kind of hindrance prevent him from
putting his ideas out into the world.
Some of his work
Designer’s design philosophy and signature
styles
He wanted all of this work to make his clients feel unique and innovative while feeling stylish and pushing the
boundaries, while having their money also go to good causes that helped the community. Some of the fabrics
that are heavily featured in his work include tools, to give a bold look when layered while still staying feminine
and soft. Tool dresses on his website are often paired with combat groups to give the grunge aspect and round
out the look. Pushing boundaries. McQueen did not seem to believe that different aesthetics could not mix
judging by his work. He often mixed contrasting colors and aesthetics to give a unique feel to each of his looks.
His work also seems to recently feature puffed sleeves on dresses that everyday people could wear instead of
just high end clients. The brand uses their unique mentality to put spins on everyday clothing. So that the
everyday person can go through life feeling stylish even if they are not fully comfortable with their wardrobe

Target consumer
group
The Target consumer group for every day is wealthy 25-45b year olds that have the
money to be able to afford such a high end brand. “Alexander McQueen is a
high-end designer brand, thus its target customers more approach those person
who have personality and especially like fashion. Its customer age range is around
20 to 50 years old due to its unique feature is more easy accept younger and
fashionable customer, whilst its graceful feature also attracted senior customers as
well. On the other hand, its main customer almost can be divided to socialite,
nobility, celebrities, and ordinary customers.” -
