A special “Tuesday Studio” announcement: we have just added a new forthcoming title to our Spring 2011 list, Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty, published in association with The Metropolitan Museum of Art and edited by The Met’s Costume Institute curators, Andrew Bolton and Harold Koda.

The tragedy of McQueen’s suicide in February of this year needs no retelling, but we can look forward to this volume that commemorates the work of one the most important, captivating, and awe-inspiring fashion designers of our time.  The book will accompany a retrospective exhibition at The Met from May 4 – July 31, 2011. In the meantime, look no further than the nearest department stores to enjoy the continuing spectacle of his intricate designs.
