Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty 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 and radical designs, revealing how McQueen adapted and combined the fundamentals of Savile Row tailoring, the specialized techniques of haute couture, and technological innovation to achieve his distinctive aesthetic. It also focuses on the highly sophisticated narrative structures underpinning his collections and extravagant runway presentations, with their echoes of avant-garde installation and performance art. Published to coincide with an exhibition at The Metropolitan Museum of Art organized by The Costume Institute, this stunning book includes a preface by Andrew Bolton; an introduction by Susannah Frankel; an interview by Tim Blanks with Sarah Burton, creative director of the house of Alexander McQueen; illuminating quotes from the designer himself; provocative and captivating new photography by renowned photographer Sølve Sundsbø; and a lenticular cover by Gary James McQueen. Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty celebrates the astounding creativity and originality of a designer who relentlessly questioned and confronted the requisites of fashion. Review: Beautiful, beautiful, more beautiful - I've been obsessed with owning this book since I saw the exhibit in 2011-- one of my deepest regrets was not buying it right then. Was so happy to see it offered here! It was delivered more quickly than expected and in good shape-- the top corner of the front cover was a little squished (book was shipped in a large box with a DVD and sort of bounced around a bit) but otherwise I am very happy with the purchase overall. The material itself is beyond wonderful. I am reading the introduction to McQueen's career, which is well-written and provides some great insight into the designer's inspirations and influences. The clothes themselves are masterfully crafted, stunning and intricate, a true feast for the eyes. This book makes me feel like I own a McQueen which is nice because in reality I could hardly afford such riches. The photos are masterfully edited-- what at first blush looks like a scuff or a ding on a mannequin is actually the figure of a woman 'showing through' the white, painted skin which brings a new level of interest to each page. I've flipped through the photos and quotes, and although there are a few layouts that aren't great (pp170-1 for one should not have been a two page spread or the bodice of the dress should have been canted off to the side a bit) the experience of opening this magical volume and flipping through the pages is just that-- magical. Even if you missed the exhibit, if you appreciate fashion as art this book is worth purchasing. Review: Love this book and arrived in perfect shape. - This item came in perfect condition!!! I’m super happy with it! Thank you to the shipper for packaging this book with care! Appreciate it very much!!! 5 stars for sure!!! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #110,075 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #87 in Collections, Catalogs & Exhibitions #100 in Textile & Costume (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.9 out of 5 stars 2,837 Reviews | ## Images ![Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61VTbV47FUL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful, beautiful, more beautiful *by L***T on January 30, 2019* I've been obsessed with owning this book since I saw the exhibit in 2011-- one of my deepest regrets was not buying it right then.

I’m super happy with it! Thank you to the shipper for packaging this book with care! Appreciate it very much!!! 5 stars for sure!!! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An homage to genius... *by D***T on May 17, 2011* When McQueen died, there seemed to be hole in fashion. One of the greatest creative minds had simply vanished and it felt like we had lost years of future innovation. Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty reminds us that although the man has past, his efforts and influence on sartorial innovation never will. I read this entire tome in a single day. And having read it, I feel much more connected to McQueen than ever before. It is a publication that not only chronicles his life but, explores his processes, his techniques, his innovation and of course, his legacy. And despite the collection of quotes, deep biographical writings and insight, this book is not so much about the words but, the images. The Met have captured the true essence of McQueen through visual displays of his aesthetic and mindset. From flowing gowns that look ethereal across a double page spread, to the finest detail of a mannequin's skin tone, it all resembles a dream, the surreal fantasy that McQueen bought the world. This book, with its comprehensive look at the past and optimistic and exciting look into McQueen's future through Sarah Burton, is something you must really buy for yourself. I cannot be in New York for the exhibition but, have a little piece of the real McQueen with me. And my never ending admiration for him is enhanced through this book. A great homage to the genius that was and ever will be, McQueen. ## Frequently Bought Together - Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty - Alexander McQueen: Inside the Creative Mind of a Legendary Fashion Designer - Tom Ford --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.il/products/286230-alexander-mcqueen-savage-beauty](https://www.desertcart.co.il/products/286230-alexander-mcqueen-savage-beauty) --- *Product available on Desertcart Israel* *Store origin: IL* *Last updated: 2026-07-06*
