About this product

"I never conformed to any sort of fashion ideal. My idea was always to show reality, even though I started at Savile Row and ended up at Givenchy in Paris; to depict the times I live in." --Alexander McQueen, Harper's Bazaar , September 2008

    Such a friendly and communicative seller. At one point we thought the package had gone missing but she was so nice throughout and made so much effort to find it. It was delivered but didn't update.

    Heartbreakingly Brilliant Visual History of the Genius Alexander McQueen

    I may never buy or wear couture - but the Savage Beauty MET retrospective of his work is mind boggling genius! The observations in the book, of those who worked with Alexander McQueen through the process of design and creation of his work, is riveting, and heartbreaking for his loss.
