Alexander McQueen was a British luxury fashion house founded by designer Lee Alexander McQueen in 1992. While the brand is renowned for its avant-garde and often theatrical ready-to-wear collections, its footwear, particularly its oversized sole sneakers (such as the "Oversized Sneaker"), has become a signature. McQueen's approach to design was characterized by a blend of raw power, delicate beauty, and a deep understanding of tailoring and construction. After McQueen's passing in 2010, Sarah Burton took over as creative director, continuing to infuse the brand's footwear with a blend of luxury, innovation, and a touch of the dramatic that defines its aesthetic. The shoes often feature bold silhouettes, high-quality materials, and distinctive detailing that reflects the brand's high-fashion sensibilities.
