McQueen is a BAFTA-nominated documentary on the life and career of controversial fashion designer Alexander McQueen.

In the early 1990s, Lee Alexander McQueen was living out of a backpack, knocking on studio doors and begging for tailoring apprenticeships. By 1996, he was chief designer at the exalted Givenchy design studio in France.

The east Londoner spoke no French. When he stood next to the fashion executives in their exquisite suits, it looked like he'd broken into the design studio.

McQueen is a documentary film by producers Ian Bonhôte and Peter Ettedgui. The pair have worked together on semi-biographical documentaries and separately on theatrical movies covering many genres.

Drawing on his troubled past, McQueen captured the spotlight of the fashion world as one of its most controversial and tragic characters.

The documentary shows the truth of McQueen as a tailoring prodigy, ambitious designer, and catwalk show provocateur.
