A beautifully illustrated celebration of the life and work of provocative fashion pioneer
Alexander McQueen. Alexander McQueen's creative vision stunned and shocked the fashion world
for over 15 years with his avant-garde theatricality leading many to call him the enfant
terrible of British fashion. He created fashion moments which have not faded from memory like
David Bowie's Union Jack coat from 1996 Sarah Jessica Parker's tartan Met Gala dress from 2006
and Lady Gaga's alien armadillo shoes in the Bad Romance video clip in 2009. But before he
was Alexander McQueen he was Lee Alexander McQueen the boy from London who dreamed of
becoming a fashion designer. He worked his way up from making suits on Savile Row to starting
his own fashion label and becoming one of the youngest designers ever to win an award for
British Womenswear Designer of the Year. This book is a celebration of the life brand and 36
ground-breaking collections created by Lee.
