“It is not just a book about a season in a fashion house. It is also a personal record of Lee’s imagination, his version of himself, and a tribute to the many important and lasting relationships he had with all those who worked alongside him”. Excerpt from Nick Waplington text
Lee Alexander McQueen (1969–2010), CBE, was one of the most important fashion designers of the last two decades. He was the recipient of four British Designer of the Year awards, as well as the CFDA’s International Designer of the Year award, 2003. In 2011, following his death, the Costume Institute in New York organized an enormously successful retrospective of his work at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Artist and photographer Nick Waplington (born 1970) has published several monographs including Living Room and The Wedding, Safety in Numbers and Truth of Consequence. He lives in London and New York.
