Alexander McQueen Is the New Man of Fashion

Famed British fashion designer Alexander McQueen can now add Man of Fashion to his long list of awards.

 


Famed British fashion designer Alexander McQueen can now add Man of Fashion to his long list of awards, Fashion Wire Daily reports.

The Academy of Art University in San Francisco honored Alexander McQueen among others for his outstanding contributions to the fashion industry.

Dressed in a sharply tailored grey suit that showcased his lean silhouette, a bashful McQueen accepted his award and thanked his friend Simon Ungless, Director of Graduate Fashion at the Academy, for inviting him to the school.

"I think I owe a lot of thanks to Simon Ungless who I was at St. Martins with," said McQueen.

"We studied together at St. Martins about 15 years ago. We actually started off by him doing my prints… I am a bit jet lagged but it's worth it. I'm just very honored."

 


To add more to the celebration, McQueen chose student Ji Won Ree for a three-month internship at his London design studio, and two graduates won three-month internships at Louis Vuitton in LVMH Paris and Kiton design studio in Naples.

Alexander McQueen has won numerous awards, which include his 2003 awards as CFDA International Designer of the Year and A Most Excellent Commander of the British Empire (CBE) bestowed by the Queen of England.

And McQueen has just announced that he was ready to get on with his smoking habit!
