House of McQueen is the story of iconic fashion designer Alexander McQueen as seen through the eyes of... Alexander McQueen. From his early days drawing on the walls of his East London council-house bedroom, a bird-obsessed boy who wore his heart on his sleeve, to his unlikely rise in the commercial fashion world, Lee, as he was known to his friends, tells his own story on a runway, a place he’d always dreamt of living his life. He takes us through his memories of epiphany and trauma to his final moments in which he could no longer make anything beautiful out of his life.

House of McQueen Review
4 / 10
These efforts pay off in visual splendor. Yet, in part because of the great inherent promise of its subject, “House of McQueen” feels mostly like a missed opportunity.
The Alexander McQueen Bio-play Has Neither Style Nor Substance
2 / 10
A gloriously grotesque aluminum corset in the shape of an alien spine; a pair of pearlescent antlers draped in embroidered lace; stiletto heels, bulbous, scaly, and spiky, like armadillos balancing on their heads and tails; wraithlike models with black contact lenses or silver prosthetic jaws, or covered in feathers, chain mail, spray paint, or the shells of razor clams … These might be some of the images that spring to mind when you think of the fashion designer Lee Alexander McQueen, known to the world by his second two names and lost to it when he took his own life in 2010 at the age of 40. They are also among the near-endless array of gestures from his oeuvre that spur more excitement, more agitation, more pure feeling in their contemplation alone than does House of McQueen, the flat soufflé of a play now endeavoring to pay homage to its namesake at the Mansion, a nightclub-ish new performance space amid the glass towers of Hudson Yards.
