Product Information

Huber, Shanay Jhaveri, Ronda Kasl, Wolfram Koeppe, Elizabeth Mankin Kornhauser, Brinda Kumar, Donald J. His art is not without darkness, and it was his tormented dichotomy and internal struggle that arguably made for his best work (his romantic gothic work in Autumn/Winter 2010-11 season, or ‘Highland Rape’ in autumn/winter 1995-96 season).

Carpenter, Henry Colburn, Stephanie D’Alessandro, Clare Davies, Jayson Kerr Dobney, Ashley Dunn, Maryam Ekhtiar, Douglas S. Este libro incluye citas de Alexander, entrevistas con sus amigos y colabores más cercanos, así como fotografías de la muestra extraordinaria que realizó el Metropolitan Museum of Art de Nueva York en el 2011, realizada a un año de la muerte del diseñador, que incluyó 66 piezas de sus mejores vestidos, así como algunos diseños de sus primeras colecciones. I wish there were multiple volumes showing more of his work and revealing more of his personal life. Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty celebrates the astounding creativity and originality of a designer who relentlessly questioned and confronted the requisites of fashion.There is enough detail to satisfy the student of fashion and enough visual splendour to entice and entrance coffee table book lovers. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. A gorgeous book and McQueen's work is some of the most inspiring work in any genre (fashion, art, film) I have ever experienced. Lamentablemente, como muchos genios se fue antes de tiempo pero dejó uno de los legados más impresionantes detrás de él.

The quotes and features are so insightful and really bring home a whole picture of what McQueen was like. If you walked out in the first dress you'd be setting yourself apart form everyone but if you wore the second one people would be able to accept you. No sólo es un libro de moda y un libro de arte, sino un libro para mirar, admirar, disfrutar, inspirarse, escapar. The magnificent book features exclusive photos and descriptions of Andrew Bolton's introductions, Tim Blanks' interview with Sarah Burton, and informative quotes from the designer himself. The clothes in this collection are visually stunning and completely bizarre and unlike anything I've seen before—8-inch heels that appear to be carved out of bone, a kaleidoscope of abstracted snake print, and a painstakingly detailed iridescent scaled bodysuit, complete with alien, hoof-shaped shoes.If you get past some of the outrageousness, and the double-talk behind it, you get to understand why his designs can be considered as art.
