Review:

Nearly four years after the sudden death of Alexander McQueen rocked the fashion world, the new book "Alexander McQueen: Working Process" documents the designer's fall/winter 2009 collection, which Mr. McQueen intended as a culmination of 15 years of his work to that point. "He had something else he wanted to do beyond fashion," said Nick Waplington, the photographer Mr. McQueen recruited to capture the creation of the collection, from sketches to fittings to a final show. The images show the designer in moments of joy, grief and strife. They present a haunting portrait of a designer at work.--Malina Joseph Gilchrist "The New York Times, Arena "
