McQueen is known for his shock and awe shows and is the youngest designers to achieve the title "British Designer of the Year", which he won four times between 1996 and 2003. McQueen is hardly to be called a failure for dropping out of school at age 16 to pursue a career in fashion design, learning tailoring and pattern making first hand. In 2004, he designed his first menswear collection and was named British Menswear Designer of the Year by the British Fashion Council. McQueen's collections often borrow from previous centuries while adding new tailoring, with a cutting edge style. He has a faithful celebrity following such as David Bowie and Prodigy's Keith Flint. His fall 2005 & Fall 2009 collections have Gothic undertones that are worth studying.

The following awards have recognized Alexander McQueens achievement in fashion: British Designer of the year 1996, 1997, 2001, and 2003, International Designer of the Year by The Council of Fashion Designer's of America (CFDA) in 2003, A Most Excellent Commander of The British Empire (CBE) by her Majesty the Queen in 2003, and the Fashion and Grooming Awards - Fashion Directors Award 2007 for McQ.
