Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty by Andrew Bolton
Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty by Andrew Bolton is I've been obsessed with owning this book since I saw the exhibit in 2011-- one of my deepest regrets was not buying it right then. Was so happy to see it offered here! It was delivered more quickly than expected and in good shape-- the top corner of the front cover was a little squished (book was shipped in a large box with a DVD and sort of bounced around a bit) but otherwise I am very happy with the purchase overall.The material itself is beyond wonderful. I am reading the introduction to McQueen's career, which is well-written and provides some great insight into the designer's inspirations and influences. The clothes themselves are masterfully crafted, stunning and intricate, a true feast for the eyes. This book makes me feel like I own a McQueen which is nice because in reality I could hardly afford such riches.The photos are masterfully edited-- what at first blush looks like a scuff or a ding on a mannequin is actually the figure of a woman 'showing through' the white, painted skin which brings a new level of interest to each page. I've flipped through the photos and quotes, and although there are a few layouts that aren't great (pp170-1 for one should not have been a two page spread or the bodice of the dress should have been canted off to the side a bit) the experience of opening this magical volume and flipping through the pages is just that-- magical. Even if you missed the exhibit, if you appreciate fashion as art this book is worth purchasing.
Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty by Andrew Bolton is Really high quality binding, heavy pages, the lenticular cover is eye-catching (but will collect dust, a soft toothbrush can get it out.) Excellent photography, Solve Sundsbo did very well. The garments really feel alive on the page. An excellent look back at Mr. McQueen's oeuvre, before Sarah Burton took the label in a different direction.
Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty by Andrew Bolton is This book was incredible. If you love fashion, creativity, a look into someone’s mind and what makes them think - this is the coffee table book for you! Fascinating images of McQueens stunning designs will have you turning the pages and thirsting for more.
Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty by Andrew Bolton is I love Alexander McQueen, and I have an immense amount of respect for him and for his work. His death was a tragedy, but his creativity will never be lost (in part due to this book). This book is amazing. The photos are gorgeous and cover an amazing amount of his work, and seeing his evolution through the years is really interesting. The reference in that back is also great, because it allows you to understand what collections you like and what pieces are favorites, etc. I also would like to point out that this book is great in part because it was not built around the expectation that you saw the exhibit, but it instead just built to be a tribute to McQueen in general. Amazing product at an amazing price!
