Description

and Sabine Rewald, with contributions by Dawn Ades, John Ashbery, Jacques Dupin, John Golding, Lawrence Gowing, William S. To quote from the introduction of the book itself, "The latest in a long line of male homosexual designers who exploit women while pandering to their own fantasies. I can state though that even though I find it impossible that there might be some people that don't know about McQueen, this is a good starting point to get to know him and his work.

Focusing on the most iconic and acclaimed designs of McQueens prolific career, this stunning book examines his inimitable technical virtuosity and its subversion of traditional tailoring and dressmaking practices. My idea was always to show reality, even though I started at Savile Row and ended up at Givenchy in Paris; to depict the times I live in. If you're a fan of Alexander McQueen's work or simply a fashion aficionado, you must pick up this incredible book pronto! McQueen's technical precision and lightness of touch, along with that weird, wild, and wandering imagination, are apparent in every image. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.His achievements in fashion earned him four British Designer of the Year awards (1996, 1997, 2001 and 2003), as well as the CFDA's International Designer of the Year award in 2003. 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.

Personal quotes feature opposite McQueen's deeply personal fashion, creating a remarkable approximation of an autobiography. This weighty tome is published by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York to accompany their spring 2011 exhibition in celebration of McQueen’s work. From his Central Saint Martins postgraduate collection of 1992 to his final runway presentation, which took place after his death in February 2010, Mr.The Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum's Alexander McQueen retrospective has proven so popular that the exhibit has been extended until August 7. McQueen challenged and expanded the understanding of fashion beyond utility to a conceptual expression of culture, politics, and identity. At the end there is an interview with Sarah Burton, who took over the fashion house after McQueen's tragic death. From his postgraduate collection of 1992 to his final runway presentation which took place after his death in February 2010, Mr. Lush photography blended with essays provides a 360-degree view of Englands most audacious designer .
