About this product

Product Information

"I never conformed to any sort of fashion ideal. My idea was always to show reality, even though I started at Savile Row and ended up at Givenchy in Paris; to depict the times I live in." --Alexander McQueen, Harper's Bazaar , September 2008

    Heartbreakingly Brilliant Visual History of the Genius Alexander McQueen

    I may never buy or wear couture - but the Savage Beauty MET retrospective of his work is mind boggling genius! The observations in the book, of those who worked with Alexander McQueen through the process of design and creation of his work, is riveting, and heartbreaking for his loss.

  • Great book!

    The book focuses on the highly sophisticated narrative structures found in McQueen's collections and in his astonishing and extravagant runway presentations, which suggested the most avant-garde installation and performance art. Intended as an assessment of Alexander McQueen's entire career, the book includes in-depth studies of six collections that illustrate and encapsulate thematic chapters as well as an interview with Sarah Burton, the new creative director of Alexander McQueen who had been the designer's right-hand design aide since 1996.
