It features his most iconic and radical designs, revealing how McQueen adapted and combined the fundamentals of Savile Row tailoring, the specialized techniques of haute couture, and technological innovation to achieve his distinctive aesthetic. Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty examines the full breadth of the designer’s career, from the start of his fledgling label to the triumphs of his own world-renowned London house. Arguably the most influential, imaginative, and provocative designer of his generation, Alexander McQueen both challenged and expanded fashion conventions to express ideas about race, class, sexuality, religion, and the environment. Along the way, they discover the fate of Kebes, and Pytheas’ children learn what it truly means to be the children of a god, just as Pytheas begins to understand what it means to be human. So Pytheas, his children (including his daughter by Simmea, Arete), and a small crew take their one remaining ship on a voyage of exploration. When Simmea, the aspiring philosopher who was such a sympathetic narrator in the previous volume, is killed during one of these art raids, her husband, Pytheas (aka Apollo in human form), swears vengeance, believing the perpetrator to be Kebes, Simmea’s jealous former suitor who sailed off to parts unknown. But instead of the enlightened rule Plato dreamed of, there are petty squabbles and thefts of the art Athene looted from the dark corners of history. Twenty years after the events of The Just City (2014), the original city has splintered into five, each convinced that it's following the correct philosophical path. Walton continues her tale of the goddess Athene’s experiment to establish a city based on the principles of Plato’s Republic, inhabited by stray scholars and former child-slaves harvested from various time periods. |
