Fashion is a big bubble, and sometimes I feel like popping it.\u2019 Alexander McQueen, 2009<\/p>\n
This definitive publication on Alexander McQueen (1969 \u2013 2010) invites you into the creative mind and world of one of Britain\u2019s most brilliant, daring and provocative designers, and the many themes and references that shaped his visionary fashion collections.
\nAccompanying the V&A\u2019s landmark exhibition Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty, and taking the key themes of the exhibition of tailoring, gothic, primitivism, naturalism and futurism, this comprehensive catalogue features previously unseen material as well as groundbreaking essays and feature spreads by multiple authors and leading fashion commentators.
\nThis kaleidoscopic approach explores themes central to the designer\u2019s work and his collections, such as the psychology of fashion, natural history, the theatre and spectacle of his shows, and the key creative collaborators during McQueen\u2019s lifetime. Alexander McQueen also offers an encyclopaedic survey of McQueen\u2019s catwalk collections, illustrated with striking images by leading fashion photographers, and specially commissioned photographs that capture the breath-taking skill of his designs and awesome theatricality of his shows.
\nAccompanies Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty (14 March to 19 July 2015), developed and expanded from the 2011 blockbuster show at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.<\/p>\n
