Celebrating the astounding creativity and originality of designer
Alexander McQueen, who relentlessly questioned and confronted the
requisites of fashion "An authoritative and moving insight into the
legacy of the British designer."-Carola Long, Financial Times
"McQueen's brilliance is celebrated in this sumptuous
tome."-Harper's Bazaar "Excellent."-Huffington Post Arguably 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. 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 Solve Sundsbo; and a

Intermittent Rivers and Ephemeral Streams: Ecology and Management
takes an internationally broad approach, seeking to compare and
contrast findings across multiple continents, climates, flow
regimes, and land uses to provide a complete and integrated
perspective on the ecology of these ecosystems. Coupled with this,
users will find a discussion of management approaches applicable in
different regions that are illustrated with relevant case studies.
In a readable and technically accurate style, the book utilizes
logically framed chapters authored by experts in the field,
allowing managers and policymakers to readily grasp ecological
concepts and their application to specific situations.
This first complete investigation into Karl Lagerfeld’s (1933–2019) artistry explores his extraordinary 65-year career, from the designs for Chloé and Fendi in the 1960s and 1970s to his celebrated leadership in the 1980s and beyond at Chanel and with his own label. Inspired by the “line of beauty” theorized by eighteenth-century English painter William Hogarth, this dazzling publication pursues the straight and serpentine “lines” and their intersections in Lagerfeld’s work as a means of understanding his unique creative process.
The book’s elegant parchment and cloth cover, emulating an artist’s portfolio, opens onto a pageant of stunning new photography by Julia Hetta of Lagerfeld’s fashion alongside the designer’s original sketches. The juxtaposition of drawings with finished pieces offers a window into Lagerfeld’s creative brilliance. Texts include personal reflections from Lagerfeld’s premières d’ateliers—the seamstresses behind his extraordinary creations—as well as Anna Wintour, Patrick Hourcade, Amanda Harlech, and Tadao Ando.
Not only a lavish objet but also an important resource on Lagerfeld, the book concludes with an illustrated timeline of the designer’s long and illustrious career.

A revelatory look at the influential and enigmatic designer behind
Comme des Garcons The great pantheon of fashion designers produces
only a handful of creators who are masters of their metier. Rei
Kawakubo of Comme des Garcons is one of them. Widely recognized
among her contemporaries as the most important and influential
designer of the past forty years, she has, since her Paris debut in
1981, defined and transformed the aesthetics of our time. This
lavishly illustrated publication examines Kawakubo's fascination
with interstitiality, or the space between boundaries. Existing
within and between dualities-whether self/other, object/subject,
art/fashion-Kawakubo's work challenges the rigid divisions that
have come to define received notions of identity and
fashionability, inviting us to rethink fashion as a site of
constant creation, re-creation, and, ultimately, hybridity.
Featuring brilliant new photography, and thought-provoking texts by
Andrew Bolton, this book expresses the conceptual and challenging
aesthetic of this visionary designer. An insightful interview and
illustrated chronology of Kawakubo's career provide additional
context. Published by The Metropolitan Museum of Art/Distributed by
Yale University Press Exhibition Schedule: The Metropolitan Museum
