Alexander McQueen was posthumously awarded at this year’s British Fashion Awards for Outstanding Achievement in Fashion Design. This special award celebrates his achievement as a designer whose work has impacted the world. Check out this beautiful video brilliantly styled by internationally known stylist and fashion director, Edward Enninful.
