In 2003, Alexander McQueen visited the New York offices and gallery of Visionaire to discuss collaborating on an issue of the magazine - an issue that sadly was never to be. "Visionaire No. 58: Spirit" is a tribute to McQueen's genius and legacy. It gathers images inspired by the designer from contributors Craig McDean, David Sims, Inez Van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin, Lady Gaga, Matthew Williams, Mario Sorrenti, Mario Testino, Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, Nick Knight, Philip Treacy, Sean Ellis, Sebastian Faena, Steven Klein, and Steven Meisel that have been printed on paper embedded with wildflower seeds, so that when planted, watered and exposed to sunlight, the pages will blossom. "Spirit" is presented in a slipcase that is wrapped in an Alexander McQueen metalized brocade that was featured in the designer's Spring/Summer show of 2010. One of Visionaire's most brilliant and gift-worthy concepts to date, "Spirit" offers up a unique opportunity for artist, nature and reader to collaborate with one another, and celebrates the greatness of one of fashion's greatest and most iconoclastic talents".
