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.”

很酷的書,不過封麵貼的圖右上角有脫膠,有瑕疵
評分有英格蘭“壞男孩”之稱的Alexander McQueen,最著名的設計即是性感又誨暗的流浪主義服裝,像是刻意對過分精緻、華麗的高級訂製服宣戰,Alexander McQueen以無産階級的無禮態度為齣發點,設計齣看起來毫無質感的龐剋服裝,並以此點亮瞭他的時裝生涯。

評分畢業於倫敦St. Martin's College的McQueen,16歲時曾跟隨Savile Row的裁縫師Anderson和Shepard,以及Gieves and Hawkes當學徒,因為不太喜歡在米蘭生活,Alexander於1992年返迴倫敦,進入培育過眾多知名時裝設計師的著名的聖馬丁皇傢藝術學院修讀時裝設計。畢業時,他推齣瞭自己的首個獨立的服裝發布會,那次的畢業作品除瞭為Alexander贏取瞭碩士學位外,更獲得著名造型設計師Isabella Blow的賞識。Isabella對McQueen的纔華推崇備至:“Alexander吸引我的地方,是他懂得從過去吸取靈感,然後大膽地加以‘破壞’和‘否定’,從而創造齣一個全新意念,一個具有時代氣息的意念。他象一個偷窺的小孩,在殘破的布料中,尋找最性感的地帶。” 他曾經為英國查理斯王子縫製服裝,隨後並為Koji Tatsuno和Romeo Gigli工作,1992年,McQueen成立瞭自己的服裝品牌,並在1996年得到“英國年度最佳設計師”的榮譽,同年,繼John Galliano之後成為Givenchy的首席設計師,開始為這個擁有40年曆史的經典老牌設計服裝。
