Alexander McQueen

This definitive book on Alexander McQueen invites you into the creative mind and world of one of Britain's most brilliant, daring, and provocative designers, and the many themes and references that shaped his visionary fashion collections.

"He brought a uniquely British sense of daring and aesthetic fearlessness to the global stage of fashion. In such a short career, Alexander McQueen's influence was astonishing--from street style to music culture and the world's museums." --Anna Wintour, editor, Vogue magazine

A true comprehensive study, this catalog is the first in-depth look at McQueen and explores key themes of the Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty exhibition--tailoring, gothic, primitivism, naturalism, and futurism. Curated by London College of Fashion lecturer Claire Wilcox, the book also features previously unseen material as well as groundbreaking essays and feature spreads by multiple authors and leading fashion commentators.
