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 Slve Sundsb; 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.
“McQueen’s brilliance is celebrated in this sumptuous tome that accompanies the Costume Institute’s spring retrospective. The hologram cover makes it a collector’s item.”
—Harper’s Bazaar

挺好!挺好!挺好!
评分书是相当不错.喜欢的不行了.虽然活动还是贵了.
评分京东书籍包装太差,就一个塑料袋子过来,封面都有划痕,后面书脚也有折损,哎~ 书纸质非常好,很沉的一本书,内容对得起这个价格,全书大概一百一十件左右的衣服,喜欢麦昆的买来还是不错的。镭射封面没觉得多高档,还有一个边角都开胶了。
评分非常精美的一本书,价格有点贵。确实物有所值!
评分很酷的书,不过封面贴的图右上角有脱胶,有瑕疵
评分很好看的书。女儿订的,收到后马上翻阅,爱不释手。
评分多读书,也能使你的心情便得快乐。读书也是一种休闲,一种娱乐的方式。读书可以调节身体的血管流动,使你身心健康。所以在书的海洋里遨游也是一种无限快乐的事情。用读书来为自己放松心情也是一种十分明智的。
评分聪明、智慧、坚强、勇敢的女人,不在乎她们的高矮和胖瘦,是Alexander McQueen的设计对象,他说自己不单希望她们能穿他设计的服装,更希望她们因此而坚强起来。
评分Alexander出生于工人阶级的家庭,自小深受街头文化的影响。在他的设计中,他将这些街头文化加以发扬光大,McQueen说:“我以一颗唯美的心态在街头捕捉灵感。”而其部分创作概念则来自从Savile Row所学得的正统裁缝技术。他以他那后崩克风格的设计和不可思议的创意,赢得了全世界的关注,而且,令人感动的不是他的天分,而是他那份天马行空的想象力及那副剪开传统禁忌的魔术剪刀,为英伦时装界剪开一个新局面,伦敦重又成为充满活力和生机的时装之都。
