astridandlouise 's review for:
Alexander McQueen: The Life and the Legacy
by Daphne Guinness, Judith Watt
anyone who knows me knows that mcqueen is my all time favourite fashion designer. he the designer as well as his impeccable tailoring and gorgeous designs is what made me fall deeply in love with high fashion.
i enjoyed this book. it had a lot of information on each of his collections, although i would have liked to have more. it's understandable that each show had about 60 pieces so it's impossible to go through and describe each piece from each collection in detail but ultimately that's what i'd love someone to do. however it gave an incredibly good overview of each of his collections; what inspired it, how it came together etc.
i also loved that it gave a small background into his life pre-designer and mcqueen's business - working with LVHM and Gucci Group etc. i'd love for there to be a detailed biography one day that goes into his business relations more as well as his beginnings in the fashion industry pre beginning his own label.
i wouldn't read this if you weren't heavily into mcqueen as a designer. three quarters of this book looks at his collections and if you aren't interested in the detail of that then you'll find it hard to enjoy.
