My book queue is far longer than my Netflix queue; I'm such a nerd I keep a categorized Excel worksheet of books I plan to acquire. Into that yearning breach left by McQueen's death and [Kristen Knox's] unsatisfactory book delivered to his flock of followers, has dropped curator Andrew Bolton's definitive Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty . A visually beautiful tapestry of art that is an expression of Alexander McQueen’s growth from a working class family to creating high couture for the upper echelons of global society.

It is a captivating tribute to the designers most radical and beautiful creations, from his impeccable tailoring at Savile Row through to his most avant-garde collections. McQueen's fashions often referenced the exaggerated silhouettes of the 1860s, 1880s, 1890s, and 1950s, but his technical ingenuity always imbued his designs with an innovative sensibility that kept him at the vanguard. This is a fine tribute to a fashion designer and conceptual artist who died far too young but whose contributions to contemporary fashion and art will live on.When you sign up to be notified, you hereby agree to receive only a one-time notification of a product re-availability.
