Alexander McQueen: Working Process

4.24 (34 ratings by Goodreads)

English

By (author): Alexander McQueen Nick Waplington

This Collectors Edition includes the book Alexander McQueen. Working Process. Photographs by Nick Waplington and this print signed and numbered by Nick Waplington.

In 2008 Alexander McQueen commissioned photographer Nick Waplington to document the creation of his Fall 2009 collectionall the way from inception to runway showing. Unfortunately, this Fall/Winter collection was to be the last that McQueen would stage before his untimely death. This show, which he titled The Horn of Plenty, found McQueen revisiting his 15-year archive of work and recycling it into a new collection. In effect, it was his personal survey of his work to date.

The set was composed of broken mirrors and a giant trash heap made up of all the sets from his previous shows; critics have commented that this reflected McQueens feelings towards the fashion system and how it pressures designers to be creative geniuses while relegating each collection to the garbage bin of history as soon as its sold. Waplington was given unprecedented access to McQueen and his staff, which included the current Creative Director of the brand, Sarah Burton. Every step of the creative process is documented in fascinating detail and readers receive a rare insight into the inner workings of McQueens creative process. Most notably, McQueen himself placed the books layout, picture by picture, on storyboards. The book was ready for publication when McQueen died, then was put on holduntil now.

This substantial overview, with more than 120 photographs, is published just as McQueen edited it, commemorating the most personal of his collections. It includes an essay by Susannah Frankel, Fashion Editor at Grazia (U.K.). See more
