Sky Arte to Air Alexander McQueen Documentary 'Il genio della moda'

On February 16, Sky Arte will broadcast the documentary 'Il genio della moda' about Alexander McQueen, directed by Ian Bonhôte and Peter Ettedgui. The film traces the career of the designer, born in East London as the youngest of six children in a working-class family, who became a globally celebrated fashion icon. It covers his personal and professional milestones, including the controversial 'Jack the Ripper Stalks His Victims' runway show, which drew on the gruesome murders in East London and featured dark, gothic, modern garments. McQueen died prematurely at age 40 in 2010. Sky Arte's website is powered by Artribune, which manages its content and digital interface.
