The catalog for The Met‘s Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty is appropriately enough, as gorgeous as the exhibit, or so I’m told. The 250-page catalog has a holographic cover of a “gleaming skull,” quotes from the designer (such as “People find my things sometimes aggressive. But I don’t see it as aggressive. I see it as romantic, dealing with a dark side of personality.”), an introduction by Susannah Frankel — fashion editor of The Independent, a Tim Blanks interview with McQueen successor Sarah Burton and photos by Sølve Sundsbø, 20 more of which have just been released for mass gagging.So what are you waiting for, start gagging!
