Alexander McQueen

Description

This definitive publication on Alexander McQueen (1969–2010) 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. A true comprehensive study, this catalog is the first in-depth look at McQueen and explores key themes of the exhibition—tailoring, gothic, primitivism, naturalism, and futurism. The book also features previously unseen material as well as groundbreaking essays and feature spreads by multiple authors and leading fashion commentators. This kaleidoscopic approach explores themes central to the designer’s work and his collections, such as the psychology of fashion, natural history, the theatre and spectacle of his shows, and the key creative collaborators during McQueen’s lifetime.Alexander McQueen also offers an encyclopedic survey of McQueen’s catwalk collections, illustrated with striking images by leading fashion photographers, and specially commissioned photographs that capture the breathtaking skill of his designs and awesome theatricality of his shows. Review: Quality is not good - The book seems to be old as few pages are torn and it’s very dirty. The book is so expensive and it’s very annoying if the quality is so bad. But the book content is very amazing. Must buy for McQueen lovers. Review: Very narrative, great essays, Good flow - The book encapsulates McQueen's legacy and character nicely in a book. Ends with a summary of his collections in order. Also, the front cover is suits McQueen so well.
