Details
A 2006 interview clip with Alexander McQueen, aired on the Dutch program Trendwatch, offering a rare and intimate recounting of his origins in fashion. In just over three minutes, McQueen traces his path from working-class East London roots to his break into tailoring on Savile Row and his eventual enrollment at Central Saint Martins. He speaks with quiet defiance and clarity—less interested in fame than in craft, conviction, and creating clothes that move people.
Captured in a transitional era of his career, the interview distills the raw ethos that shaped McQueen’s ascent: instinct over intention, discipline over polish. A brief but essential portrait of the designer before mythology overtook memory.
