VOGUE ON: ALEXANDER MCQUEEN

 

Chloe Fox's first book, Vogue On: Alexander McQueen was published by Quadrille in 2012 and has been translated into x different languages.  Part of an influential and covetable series of books from the fashion bible, Vogue, celebrating the defining fashion designers of the last century, it records how McQueen was, for the 15 years that he stood at its helm, British fashion's most influential figure. 

The book traces his career from humble beginnings as an apprentice on Savile Row to the creative directorship of a global brand.  It is a story of hard work, ambition and visionary brilliance.  Uniquely talented and deliberately controversial, McQueen rewrote the rules of fashion.

Manolo Blahnik is more than a shoemaker; he is a living fashion legend. A man of immaculate good manners, with an encyclopaedic understanding of the world around him, Blahnik has - in the 45 years since his designs first appeared on the pages of Vogue - kept the fashion world captivated with his beautiful, romantic creations.

'One is never over-dressed or under-dressed with a Little Black Dress’
Karl Lagerfeld

 

Ninety years after Vogue dubbed Coco Chanel’s simple short black ‘Ford’ dress ‘the frock that all the world will wear’, Chloe Fox celebrates the best LBDs in Vogue Essentials: Little Black Dress. From the bold, dramatic designs of Zandra Rhodes to the eye-catching LBDs by Vivienne Westwood, from the pared-down simplicity of Calvin Klein’s shift dresses to an asymmetric shoulder evening gown by Versace, Vogue Essentials: Little Black Dress celebrates the very best of the LBD.
