McQueen’s iconic fashion juxtaposed with historic textiles and works of art, revealing the designer’s dynamic approach to storytellingPublished with Los Angeles County Museum of Art.One of the most significant contributors to fashion between 1990 and 2010, British designer Lee Alexander McQueen was both a conceptual and a technical virtuoso. His critically acclaimed collections synthesized his unique training in Savile Row tailoring, theatrical design and haute couture with a remarkable breadth and depth of encyclopedic and autobiographical references spanning time, geography, mediums and technology. McQueen’s singular viewpoint produced exquisitely constructed, thought-provoking, often subversive or allegorical fashion.Taking a reflective look at McQueen’s artful design process, this book documents the designer’s diverse sources of inspiration by displaying McQueen’s imaginative fashions alongside related artworks. McQueen's encyclopedic references range from ancient Greece and Rome to Tibetan silk brocade patterns, 17th-century Dutch painting, the prints of Goya and the films of Stanley Kubrick. In each of these cases and beyond, examples of McQueen’s imaginative and extraordinary work are displayed alongside artworks from LACMA’s permanent collection. Spanning art from a multitude of mediums, eras and cultures, this publication provides a new and innovative assessment of McQueen’s work and highlights his mindful approach to storytelling and construction through fashion.Lee Alexander McQueen (1969–2010) was one of the most important fashion designers at the turn of the 21st century. In 2011, following his death, the Costume Institute in New York organized an enormously successful retrospective of his work at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

A visual chronology of modern Chinese fashion—from the fall of the Qing dynasty to the Cultural Revolution—as seen through 70 rare ensemblesPublished with Los Angeles County Museum of Art.This sumptuous publication showcases Chinese women's high fashion designs from the late Qing dynasty at the turn of the 20th century through the 1960s, examining how women's dress evolved amid seismic shifts in Chinese society. With more than 120 images, it traces transformations in silhouette, tailoring and textile innovation, revealing the ways Chinese fashion responded to globalization, modernization and women's changing roles. A special point of interest throughout the book is the qipao, the form-fitting, often ornately designed gown that is an iconic signifier of modern Chinese femininity. The volume charts its emergence in the 1920s and its adaptation across the diaspora from the 1940s to the 1960s.New York–based Taiwanese Canadian fashion designer Jason Wu developed special 3D-printed mannequins (with nine different historically inspired hairstyles) to sport many of the ensembles, bringing to life fashionable women's body types across seven decades. Wu also pens the book's preface. Two essays by design historians and curators, Mei Mei Rado and Michaela Hansen, offer original research and nuanced analyses of modern Chinese fashion design. Rado investigates fashion's interplay with rapid historical and cultural changes in China, while Hansen analyzes how industrial and technological advances reshaped Chinese textile design. Interspersed throughout the volume are archival images including book illustrations, textile prints, magazine covers and calendar posters. Altogether, Fashioning Chinese Women offers an in-depth visual chronology of a dynamic chapter in Chinese fashion history that has been largely overlooked by Western art museums and publishers.
