About this deal

There is detail enough to satisfy the student of fashion, and striking full-page images that convey McQueen's sense of style and his flair for dramatic statements.

From the lenticular cover by Gary James McQueen ('Lenticular printing is a technology in which a lenticular lens is used to produce images with an illusion of depth, or the ability to change or move as the image is viewed from different angles') to the layout or deign of the book itself to the extraordinary photography (by Sølve Sundsbø) this book is an art piece by itself.McQueen had a background in tailoring before he studied fashion and embarked on a career as a designer. McQueen's catwalk shows were noted for their drama and theatricality, and he was known for his finely-tailored clothes as well as imaginative and sometimes controversial designs. 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. Bolton includes profound commentary from the designer himself, plus an incredible interview with Sarah Burton.

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. McQueen’s brilliance is celebrated in this sumptuous tome…The hologram cover makes it a collector’s item. I was wondering if the book features the spine “corset” or the horned jacket from “It’€™s a Jungle Out There”…….McQueen was always my favorite designer, back in the days I got Vogue, and the incredible photos in this book show why. If you are more deeply into fashion and happen to love McQueen like I do, this is an incredible glossary and reference book to aid in your own projects. Each illustration became my favorite- page after page of the most exquisite fashion, beautifully presented and photographed. Personal quotes feature opposite McQueen's deeply personal fashion, creating a remarkable approximation of an autobiography. He was an incredible tailor and his garments always have an exquisite and distinctive silhouette, usually with the waist emphasised.
