Alexander McQueen is the eyewear line of the British luxury house Alexander McQueen. The house was founded by Lee Alexander McQueen in 1992, and the eyewear line began expanding in earnest in 2004 under a licensing agreement with Safilo. Centered on sunglasses and optical frames, its designs incorporate signature motifs such as skulls and studs. Safilo previously handled production and distribution; today, design, distribution, and sales are carried out under Kering Eyewear, with the line available at boutiques and authorized retailers around the world.
