Reportedly published in a small number of hardcover books, the true first edition/first printing of this book, which sold out very quickly. Though not identified anywhere as a first edition, all subsequent editions state the printing. Catalogue for the historic exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art from April to August 2011. A near-perfect copy of an astounding 21st Century fashion book. Crisp, large color plates and penetrating and thoughtful commentary. Alexander McQueen (1969-2010) was one of the most influential, imaginative, and provocative designers of his generation. His clothing both challenged and expanded the conventional parameters of fashion to express ideas about culture, politics, and identity. Published by the MMA; distributed by Yale Univ. Press; with Yale ISBN sticker on back cover.
