McQueen's Vogue Reinterpretation


AHEAD of the opening of the Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty exhibition at the Victoria & Albert Museum in March, Vogue has gained exclusive access to the designer's impressive archive; photographing pieces from throughout his career for a new shoot. The pieces - some of which have featured in the magazine before - are captured by Tim Walker and styled by Kate Phelan for the March issue, a reimagining that celebrates both the forthcoming exhibition and the man himself.

"I am so happy about it being in London," Sarah Burton, creative director of Alexander McQueen told Chloe Fox in the accompanying piece. "Savage Beauty touched so many people in New York, but now it's like he's coming home."

"For those of us who were closest to Lee, the Met exhibition came a little too soon," Annabelle Neilson, a close friend of McQueen's, agreed. "Losing him was still so raw, whereas now we all feel a little readier to celebrate Lee's life. His early work, when his resources were limited, almost expresses him best. Those early pieces will show that the genius was there already in its simplest, most beautiful form."

See the shoot and read the piece in full in the March issue of Vogue, on newsstands Thursday.
