'Fashion is a big bubble, and sometimes I feel like popping it.'
Alexander McQueen, 2009
This definitive publication on Alexander McQueen (1969 – 2010) invites you into the creative mind of one of Britain's most brilliant, daring and provocative designers. Accompanying the V&A's landmark exhibition Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty, this comprehensive catalogue features 28 ground-breaking essays from expert fashion commentators and cultural scholars which examine the richness and complexity of McQueen s visionary fashion. The publication includes over 440 striking images, from intimate backstage portraits and editorials by leading fashion photographers to previously unpublished sketches and research boards from the McQueen archive.
At the centre of the book is a Cabinet of Curiosities gatefold with a specially commissioned photo shoot that showcases McQueen s breath-taking attention to detail. The book closes with an encyclopaedic survey of all of McQueen's London collections, from his 1992 MA graduate collection to his final collection, posthumously presented in March 2010.

评论 ······
Savage Beauty在V&A展出的出版物，比起Mets那本，纵深度都上升了一个层次。每篇文章都有相关的历史和社会文化背景参照。毕竟，McQueen是不可多得的文化遗产啊。
Genius
比上一本好太多太多。ps christopher breward也真够鬼的…
“于V&A亲眼目睹麦昆各时期， 为了带这本书从伦敦回来 避免超重，拒绝了意中人的礼物。”呵，年轻时的意中人。
