Alexander McQueen: Unseen

　　首度公開！美國Vogue雜誌獨家後台攝影師為Alexander McQueen拍攝秀場十餘年的照片終於問世，一覽已逝鬼才設計師絕美的狂想與繆思！
 
　　Robert Fairer從90年代開始跟隨Alexander McQueen，到這位名列史上最前衛、最大膽的服裝設計師自殺前的最終系列〈Plato’s Atlantis〉全部事業生涯，一直是他的秀場御用攝影師。台前台後以快門記載下McQueen無數次驚豔時尚圈的狂野時裝秀，精準呈現McQueen傾注的細膩剪裁、哥德美學、原始主義、自然主義與未來主義等元素，與獨特的美感及創造力。從困在玻璃箱中的模特兒、未來機器人噴墨製衣到空中現身的Kate Moss，每一次的發表都是一齣標新立異的舞台劇。透過Fairer的鏡頭，讀者彷彿親臨現場，感受McQueen在視覺、心理等各個層面上給予觀眾的強烈衝擊。
 
　　由Vogue數位創意總監莎莉‧辛格(Sally Singer)撰寫前言，並收錄多位時尚評論家對McQueen的設計從未公開的評論，書中介紹文字則由Victoria & Albert Museum資深策展人Claire Wilcox操刀。（文／博客來編譯）
