'Give me time and I'll give you a revolution.' - Alexander McQueen

Ever since its creation in 1992, The House of Alexander McQueen has been synonymous with drama, risk-taking and cutting-edge innovation. From iconic collaborations, like with Lady Gaga for her 'Bad Romance' music video, to shockingly controversial runway shows like The Horn of Plenty, Alexander McQueen was beloved for his fantastical silhouettes and blurring of gender lines.

This exquisitely illustrated volume explores the story behind the brand, from McQueen's own early days to the current leadership of Sarah Burton. Through a carefully curated collection of finished designs, close-up details and personal sketches, this book pulls back the veil on the wonderful world of McQueen.
