A true comprehensive study, this catalog is the first in-depth look at McQueen and explores key themes of the Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty exhibition—tailoring, gothic, primitivism, naturalism, and futurism. Curated by London College of Fashion lecturer Claire Wilcox, 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:
- The psychology of fashion
- Natural history
- The theater and spectacle of his shows
- His key creative collaborators
- And much more!
