Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty Book Jacket

Alexander McQueen (1969-2010) was one of the most influential, imaginative and inspirational designers at the turn of the millennium. His fashions both challenged and expanded the conventional parameters of clothing beyond utility to a compelling expression of culture, politics and identity. Focusing on the most iconic and acclaimed designs of his prolific career, this stunning book examines McQueen's inimitable technical virtuosity and its subversion of traditional tailoring and dressmaking practices. This book also focuses on the highly sophisticated narrative structures found in McQueen's collections and in his astonishing and extravagant runway presentations, which suggested the most avant-garde installation and performance art. Intended as an assessment of Alexander McQueen's entire career, this book includes in-depth studies of six collections that illustrate and encapsulate thematic chapters as well as an interview with Sarah Burton, the new creative director of Alexander McQueen who had been the designer's right-hand design aide since 1996.

Kate Moss back in the Alexander McQueen hologram dress as she pays tribute

She was left devastated by her friend Alexander McQueen's suicide a year ago.

But Kate Moss has decided to pay tribute to the late designer the best way she knows how - by wearing one of his most iconic creations.

The 37-year-old poses in McQueen's ethereal 'hologram' organza dress, which she famously wore for his Autumn/Winter 2006 fashion show five years ago, for a new magazine shoot.

A hologram of Moss flailing around like a ghostly apparition appeared on stage at the climax of the March 2006 show at Paris Fashion Week.

McQueen projected the image on the stage in tribute to Moss, who was then lying low after being caught in a cocaine scandal six months earlier.

And the supermodel was given the chance to return the favour in the new issue of Harper's Bazaar magazine.

On the cover of the glossy, Moss also wears a white McQueen creation by the label's head designer Sarah Burton, who took over from Lee McQueen after his death.

Of the late designer, who committed suicide in February last year, Kate says: 'There’s never ever going to be anybody like him. 

She recalls first meeting McQueen. ‘It was all a bit of a blur - I was doing a lot of shows at the time. 

'I can’t even remember the first show I did for him, but I remember the first  show he did in New York. It was raining, everyone was outside, and I said, “Lee, you’ve got to get Anna Wintour in!” He didn’t care. It was all chaos.’

Unforgettable fashion moment:
