Lee Alexander McQueen (1969-2010) is widely recognized as one of the leading fashion designers of his time, whose work combined esthetic vision, emotional power, and extraordinary craft. He was especially known for staging provocative shows that were as much performances as venues to display his designs. Charged with energy, informed by history and culture, and filled with fresh concepts, they have become legends not only of fashion but also of art. Shooting backstage, photographer Anne Deniau documented twenty-six of these shows, beginning in September 1997 and ending with the final one in October 2010. Working directly for McQueen, she produced a remarkable and previously unpublished photographic record that captures the intensity and immediacy of these events. We see McQueen working with his close circle of collaborators--among them, designer Sarah Burton, milliner Philip Treacy, jewelry designer Shaun Leane, model Kate Moss. The meticulously produced spectacles that they created come back to life on the page in this inside look at the work of a great artist.

This book is a great treasure!
Beautiful pictures and behind the scene-pics of Lee at work. Detailed photographs of his dresses and the craftmanship of his work.
The comments of his co-workers/friends are also very touching.
It is worth the price as it is a great book and so well done.
I will cherish this book forever.

Great book for any true fan of Lee McQueen. Not a biography, and not recommended for those who wish to learn about McQueen's life. There is a lengthy introduction by the author on her history and relationship with McQueen, as well as her response to life after his death, and there are a few quotes by Lee and by other's about Lee sporadically strewn about the book, but for the most part it is a giant photo album. There are a few portraits of McQueen, and a couple of his workroom, but the vast majority are from backstage during runway. Of models, gowns, Lee working, the set pre- and post-show, etc. They are split up by show, and there is also a section of his work at Givenchy. It gives a rare, backstage glance at the magic of his shows. The book is huge (and I mean huge), but I still found myself wanting more. That is my only complaint about this book, is that I wanted more pictures. However, I think I would have that response no matter how many pictures there are, so it is really a mute point. Overall, great coffee table book for any McQueen, or fashion in general, fan!

This book is beautiful. Yes, because of the gorgeous clothes, but also for the behind the scenes moments captured that will never occur again. This book reminded me of how powerful a photograph can be. Capturing a split second in the life of a true genius, Lee Alexander McQueen. A must have for any fashion, photo, art, or anything beautiful lover.

What a shock to discover this book made by an artist about an artist.
The photographs embody, as I read somewhere on the net, a rare tribute of the highest caliber, "Hi-octane glamour of the Brodovitch/Penn/Vreeland Caliber".
I cannot stop coming back on each and every photograph, filled with visions, love and respect, rarely photography about fashion has reached such a climax.
This book is as warm and faithful to the late designer as the Metropolitan Museum book was cold and distant. Life vs. death, maybe because the Met book was published so soon after the designer's death, it is just a honest documentary book without artistic or human dimension.
"Love looks not with the eyes" will overwhelm each photographic art lover and each Alexander McQueen's admirer. A reference book that is here to stay.
