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.
This special edition is limited to just 250 copies.
Enclosed in a slipcase, the book is accompanied by a print by
photographer Rob Busling, signed by Shaun Leane.
