Opinions on Alexander Mcqueen? Is it any good?

the man himself was obviously a genius but the brand nowadays is basically a sham riding off his name

Pretty much
I mean it still is trying to do where he left off but the man himself was something else

Quality declined after McQueen's death.

He had a cool stand

This, the runway stuff is still pretty decent, but the ready-to-wear stuff is mostly awful. Yes, McQueen liked birds but it's stale to have either that or the skull printed on all the garments.

Read and look up runway shows from his peak when he was alive though. Not all collections were a massive success but most of them were amazing in my opinion.

His lifestory is quite interesting aswell, growing up in a working-class family with no realy link to fashion. He made himself and did some rebellious shit.

quality was a hit or miss traditionally

ever since burton (not sure who even handles it now) quality has slipped to the point where the name means nothing anymore

kind of like helmut lang and kind of like where margiela is heading now
