Full Description
Celebrated world-wide for his modern
romantic jewels that push the boundaries of contemporary design, Shaun
Leane has been responsible for creating a new genre of jewellery;
precious, poetic, with a sense of eternity, yet relevant to today's
world.
Illustrated with a breath-taking combination of high
fashion shots and detailed close-ups of the pieces themselves. Captured
by photographers Nick Knight, Robert Fairer and Chris Moore, along with a
dedicated photo essay of unseen backstage images recorded by Leane's
close friend Ann Ray.
Shaun Leane is
introduced by the jeweller himself, then divided into three distinct
parts: His heritage and training, by Joanna Hardy; reflections on
Leane's famous collaboration with Alexander McQueen, by Claire Wilcox;
and his modern classic commercial jewellery style, by Vivienne Becker.
Altogether, this book provides a vital overview of an artist that will
be of interest to anyone who follows the contemporary jewellery and
fashion scene.
