Introduction · · · · · ·
There are three fashion designers whose works have changed the way women dress: Coco Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent, and Lee Alexander McQueen.
"Alexander McQueen" is a complete record of Lee Alexander McQueen, written by McQueen's best friend, Judith Watt, a fashion historian at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design. 120,000 words + over 200 high-quality pictures = commemorating the fashion naughty boy and genius McQueen
This book covers almost all of McQueen's most classic design works from different periods, and includes comments on him from models, fashion magazine editors, buyers, photographers, etc. who have worked with him at different periods, as well as interpretations of his design inspiration and his working situation at the time.
Whether you are a fan of McQueen or a reader studying or working in fashion design, this book is a must-have "IT" item.
Central Saint Martins is the cradle of fashion designers. Half of the fashion industry's greats, such as John Galliano, Paul Smith, Zac Posen, Riccardo Tissci, etc., came from this school. However, the fashion enfant terrible Alexander McQueen, who died young, was far more brilliant than these greats.
In memory of this genius, Judith Watt, a fashion historian at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design and a close friend of McQueen, wrote this biography for Alexander McQueen, taking readers into the life of this visionary and creative genius and understanding what he left for the world.
From his childhood in London's East End to his explosive, epoch-making fashion career to his shocking, unexpected suicide at the age of forty, Walter's book Alexander McQueen is particularly distinctive in that it reveals many opinions and views from those around this fearless fashion godfather, including milliner Philip Treacy, designer Katy England, photographer Nick Knight, and McQueen's friends and collectors: Sarah Jessica Parker, Lady Gaga, Daphne Guiness, Kate Moss; as well as wonderful texts, many never-before-seen photos, McQueen's most iconic designs and exquisitely crafted fashions.
