WHERE EXCELLENCE BEGAN

Founded in 1992 by the legendary Lee Alexander McQueen, the label is certainly a representation of British greatness. The designer graduated from the prestigious Central St. Martins and after a stint as the creative director of Givenchy, he launched his label in 2004. Taken over in 2010 by Sarah Burton, the brand continues to produce a lavish selection of clothing, shoes and accessories.

The charming Alexander McQueen logo is hallmarked upon the brand's symbolic purse designs. The Heroine bag is a particular icon amongst the fashion pack; available in a variation of colors and fabrics it's indeed a bag that will make a statement all year round.

ACCESSORIES IN ALEXANDER MCQUEEN

When invited to a soirée select an attire that is suitable for the season and compliment accordingly. A bright floral ensemble styled with an Alexander McQueen clutch is an ultra-glam option for a springtime occasion. Whereas a winter affair calls for a faux-fur coat paired with a pencil dress number and a metallic Alexander McQueen purse.

When unsure of the dress code remember that less is more. Therefore, a slip dress is an exceptional option and looks fabulous when spruced up with a skull bag and dazzling jewelry to ensure optimum glamour.

But an Alexander McQueen handbag isn't just for lavish evening events as the label also designs an array of off-duty options. For instance, one of the brand's backpacks looks tremendous when paired with high-waisted jeans, a skull scarf and a bohemian style tunic. Simultaneously, a camera bag also makes for an exemplary daytime selection and pairs delightfully with a summer dress and flats.
