Description

A retrospective of McQueen's designs and a salute to his artistry that showcases his work from his graduate collection at Central Saint Martins to his designs created just days before his untimely death. Celebrating his work and vision, it traces the designer's ascent to becoming one of the world's most respected couturiers.

Author description

Judith Watt lives in London. She is a lecturer in fashion history and fashion journalism at Central Saint Martins (CSM), is the author of several books on fashion including The Penguin Book of Twentieth-Century Fashion Writing (Viking, 1999), Ossie Clark 1964-74 (V&A Publications, 2003), Dogs in Vogue (Little Brown 2009) and Vogue On Elsa Schiaparelli. She is also a contributor to Vogue, the Guardian and BBC Radio 4. She has said: "Anyone that works in the fashion industry, particularly as a designer in London, understands the pressures he was under. Trying to succeed in the fashion industry is very difficult, and very, very few people can do it."
