Buch: “Alexander Mc Queen: Savage Beauty”
Am 31. Mai erscheint über das Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York eine umfassende Retrospektive über das Schaffen des Designers Alexander McQueen in Buchform, unter dem Titel “Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty”. Dieses zeigt verschiedene Episoden McQueens und gibt Einblick in seine Arbeiten und Techniken. Ein Jahr nach dem Freitod McQueens ist das Buch eine würdige Hommage an einen der ideenreichsten, kreativsten und inspirierendsten Designer vergangener Jahrzehnte.
“His fashions both challenged and expanded the conventional parameters of clothing beyond utility to a compelling expression of culture, politics, and identity. Focusing on the most iconic and acclaimed designs of his prolific career, this stunning book examines McQueen’s inimitable technical virtuosity and its subversion of traditional tailoring and dressmaking practices.
The book also focuses on the highly sophisticated narrative structures found in McQueen’s collections and in his astonishing and extravagant runway presentations, which suggested the most avant-garde installation and performance art. Intended as an assessment of Alexander McQueen’s entire career, the book includes in-depth studies of six collections that illustrate and encapsulate thematic chapters as well as an interview with Sarah Burton, the new creative director of Alexander McQueen who had been the designer’s right-hand design aide since 1996.”
Herausgegeben wird das Werk von Andrew Bolton und Harold Koda, Kuratoren des Costume Institute des Metropolitan Museum, Tim Blanks, Contributing Editor von Style.com und Susannah Frankel, Fashon Editor der Zeitung The Independent. Das Buch kann jetzt über Amazon reserviert werden.
