Used Like New(1 Copy): Hardcover. First Edition. First Printing. 240 pages. Fine. Retrospective exhibition monograph. One of the greatest books on fashion ever published. The First Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a very small and limited first print run as a hardcover original, the book remains available in more than eight printings as of 2012, the bestselling fashion monograph ever published by the Met. The First Edition is now rare. A brilliant production by Andrew Bolton: Oversize-volume format. Brown cloth boards with metallic-silver titles embossed on the spine and lenticular holograph that alternately dissolves between a skull and a close-up portrait of the artist, as issued. The skull art was conceived by McQueen. Fashion by Alexander McQueen. Text by Andrew Bolton and other contributors. Printed on thick coated stock paper in Italy to the very highest standards. Without DJ, as issued. Published on the occasion of the landmark exhibition of the same name held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art New York from April 3 through August 7, 2011. Presents the single best book on the art of Lee Alexander McQueen. "The most influential, imaginative, and provocative designer of his generation, Alexander McQueen both challenged and expanded fashion conventions to express ideas about race, class, sexuality, religion, and the environment. Examines the full breadth of the designer's career from the start of his fledgling label to the triumphs of his own world-renowned London House. It features his most iconic designs, revealing how McQueen adapted and combined the fundamentals of Savile Row tailoring, the techniques of haute couture, and technological innovation to achieve his distinctive aesthetic" (Publisher's blurb). Alexander McQueen was one of the reigning troika of truly great fashion creator/designers, the other two being Nicolas Ghesquiere (Balenciaga) and Alber Elbaz (Lanvin). Bold and fearless in his art, McQueen was (there is no other word) weak in life. He committed suicide by hanging himself with his favorite brown belt on February 11, 2010, nine days after his mother died of cancer and the day before her funeral. With characteristic British understatement, he left a brief suicide note: "Look after my dogs. Sorry, I love you, Lee". His long-time assistant, Sarah Burton, paid moving homage to McQueen when she created the wedding gown of Kate Middleton, a masterwork of exquisite lacework, simplicity of design, and elegance of line. It became the Royal Wedding's global sensation and immediately catapulted Burton to front-rank status. She will continue Alexander McQueen's sublime work posthumously. An absolute "must-have" title for Alexander McQueen, fashion, and photography collectors. This title is now highly collectible. As far as we know, this is the only such copy of the First Edition/First Printing available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright, a pristine beauty. The shrinkwrap is intact but has been opened to check and ensure that this is the true First Edition, which it is. All other copies available online are Later Printings or have major flaws. A rare copy thus. 293 color plates. One of the greatest fashion creator/designers of our time. A fine collectible copy. ISBN 0300169787.
