Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty Book

Productbeschrijving

Arguably the most influential, imaginative, and provocative designer of
his generation, Alexander McQueen both challenged and expanded fashion
conventions to express ideas about race, class, sexuality, religion, and
the environment. Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty examines the full
breadth of the designer's career, from the start of his fledgling label
to the triumphs of his own world-renowned London house. It features his
most iconic and radical designs, revealing how McQueen adapted and
combined the fundamentals of Savile Row tailoring, the specialized
techniques of haute couture, and technological innovation to achieve his
distinctive aesthetic. It also focuses on the highly sophisticated
narrative structures underpinning his collections and extravagant runway
presentations, with their echoes of avant-garde installation and
performance art. Published to coincide with an exhibition at The
Metropolitan Museum of Art organized by The Costume Institute, this
stunning book includes a preface by Andrew Bolton; an introduction by
Susannah Frankel; an interview by Tim Blanks with Sarah Burton, creative
director of the house of Alexander McQueen; illuminating quotes from
the designer himself; provocative and captivating new photography by
renowned photographer Solve Sundsbo; and a lenticular cover by Gary
James McQueen. Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty celebrates the
astounding creativity and originality of a designer who relentlessly
questioned and confronted the requisites of fashion.
