Long before he became one of the most prominent fashion designers in the world, Alexander McQueen led a simple life in East London.

The son of a taxi driver and school-teacher, McQueen spent years honing his craft and acting as an apprentice before launching his own line in 1992.

Along the way, he touched an extraordinary amount of people with his passion and personality. Celebrities such as Kate Moss, Sarah Jessica Parker and Lady Gaga counted him among their closest friends, while stylists clamoured to get their hands on his red carpet gowns.

Tragically, McQueen committed suicide on February 11, 2010, leaving the fashion world reeling.

The upcoming biopic about his life, directed by Andrew Haigh and penned by Chris Urch, will tell the story of the exceptional talent that lit up the world for a brief moment. Production is slated to begin at the end of the year.
