Following Alexander McQueen's death in February 2010, the popular luxury book publisher Visionaier created a fantastic book called, Spirit. This is their homage to the great designer who has stirred the world of fashion upside down for many times due to his amazing shows, his precise cutting and impeccable knowledge about fashion and design as well as pattern making. He is an icon and this book exudes that spirit. The whole book is covered with ivory Italian leather. The front and spine are fully embroidered by brass inspired by his last collection that he did. When you open inside, a song from Lady Gaga flutters in the air and the pages of the bookzine are made of pulp paper with wildflower seeds.
