L'Officiel just published a special Alexander Mcqueen tribute issue. A collection of archival articles from the magazine in French and English and 1000 photos from past magazine editorials and runway shows, it offers a quick run-through of his work, beginning with his first collection at Givenchy. Condensed into 153 pages, it barely skims the surface of his achievements and influence, and the exclusion of his pre-Givenchy collections somewhat disappointing (his 1995 Highland Rape collection is probably one of his most well known). Nevertheless, with the absence any authoritative literature on him on the market currently, this tribute issue is perhaps the best summary of his work that one can find in print.
where is this issue sold in singapore? i have been looking for it for months!
