"I never conformed to any sort of fashion ideal.  My idea was always to show reality, even though I started at Savile Row and ended up at Givenchy in Paris; to depict the ties I live in."  - Alexander Mc Queen.  A book featuring the most iconic and radical designs of his career, Alexander McQueen's Savage Beauty examines the designer's evolution from the start of this fledgling label, to his years as creative director at Givenchy in Paris and finally, to the collections of his own world-renowned London house.
