{"product_id":"the-world-according-to-lee-mcqueen","title":"The World According to Lee McQueen","description":"‘In hard times, fantasy and escapism are vital.’ – Alexander McQueen\n\nRaised in London’s East End, Alexander McQueen left his schooling at the age of 15 to begin an apprenticeship with a tailor on Savile Row in Mayfair. By age 22, he enrolled in the prestigious master's degree course at Central Saint Martins. Following the presentation of his 1992 graduation collection—which was promptly purchased by the influential fashion stylist Isabella Blow—he altered the trajectory of fashion.\n\nMcQueen was daring regarding his views on creativity (‘Give me time and I’ll give you a revolution’), bold concerning his perspectives on women (‘I design clothes because I don’t want women to look all innocent and naive… I want people to be afraid of the women I dress’), and notable for his philosophy toward craftsmanship (‘You've got to know the rules to break them. That's what I'm here for, to demolish the rules but to keep the tradition’). He drew substantial inspiration from the natural world (‘I have always loved the mechanics of nature and to a greater or lesser extent my work is always informed by that’) and continuously challenged standard notions of beauty (‘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’).\n\nPresented in an attractive and easily readable format, this book makes a wonderful gift for enthusiasts of fashion and Alexander McQueen, capturing the intellect and soul of a true visionary.","brand":"Thames \u0026 Hudson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55984676077890,"sku":"2246","price":1121.0,"currency_code":"TRY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0942\/5734\/8930\/files\/the-world-according-to-lee-mcqueen-moda-grafik-tasarim-thames-hudson-louise-rytter-8422-22-O.jpg?v=1787595467","url":"https:\/\/lumiefilm.com\/products\/the-world-according-to-lee-mcqueen","provider":"LUMIE FILM","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
