Stylish Reads
In the first of our Stylish Reads posts Rebecca Cameron from Foyles Westfield London picks out an inspirational book about the man behind this year’s most talked about dress.
Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty by Andrew Bolton £30.00
There was a resounding cheer from fashionistas everywhere when Kate Middleton stepped out in her mind blowing Sarah Burton creation. Classic, regal and exquisitely designed, it threw the spot light back on British fashion and what exactly it can achieve. Arguably, no fashion house has encapsulated this better than where she honed her craft – McQueen.
This book examines his amazing collections of work, and how he constantly played with the boundaries of fashion and art. From his beginnings as a tailor on Savile Row and how he established an affinity with older, more traditional labour intensive techniques, to his breathtakingly extravagant conceptual fashion shows.
Discover, and be inspired by, a true master artist and craftsman.
