Alexander McQueen after being named British Designer of The Year at the Lloyds Bank
Alexander McQueen after being named British Designer of The Year at the Lloyds Bank British Fashion Awards 22nd October 1996.
The annual event was held at the Royal Albert Hall.
He is taking over the coveted title from three-times winner John Galliano, who is also vacating his position at Givenchy for McQueen, moving on to take the helm at Christian Dior.
At 27, McQueen is the same age as Galliano when he first won the award in 1987. There are thought to be parallels between the life and work of the two, but McQueen insists: `We re very different designers

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the iconic moment when Alexander McQueen was crowned British Designer of The Year at the prestigious Lloyds Bank British Fashion Awards on October 22nd, 1996. Held in the grandeur of Royal Albert Hall, this annual event celebrated McQueen's remarkable talent and undeniable influence in the fashion industry. At only 27 years old, McQueen took over this coveted title from three-time winner John Galliano, who himself was transitioning to Christian Dior after leaving Givenchy. This passing of the torch marked a significant milestone for both designers, as they were awarded this honor at the same age - Galliano in 1987 and McQueen nearly a decade later. The photograph showcases McQueen holding his well-deserved award with pride and confidence. His unique vision and boundary-pushing designs have captivated audiences worldwide. Known for his rebellious spirit and unapologetic approach to fashion, he has left an indelible mark on the industry that continues to inspire generations of designers. While comparisons may be drawn between Galliano and McQueen due to their parallel paths, it is important to note that each possesses their own distinct style. As quoted by McQueen himself: "We're very different designers". This image serves as a timeless reminder of Alexander McQueen's extraordinary talent and his enduring impact on contemporary fashion.
