For over two decades our Founder and Creative Director Shaun Leane has sought to redefine his craft, creating some of the world’s most iconic contemporary jewels. 20th April 2020 sees the launch of the deluxe edition of Shaun Leane published by ACC Art Books, ahead of the wider launch of the classic edition later in 2020. The book chronicles Leane’s illustrious career as he celebrates the 21st anniversary of his eponymous jewellery House.
Shaun Leane is introduced by the jeweller himself, then divided into three distinct parts: His heritage and training, by independent fine jewellery specialist Joanna Hardy; reflections on Leane's famous collaboration with Alexander McQueen, by curator Claire Wilcox; and his modern classic commercial jewellery style, by jewellery writer and historian, Vivienne Becker. Altogether, this book provides a vital overview of an artist that will be of interest to anyone who follows contemporary jewellery and fashion.
'2020 is an important year for me, both personally and professionally, marking both my 50th birthday and the 21st Anniversary of the House of Shaun Leane. It felt like an important moment to pause and reflect, bringing together images that have defined my career to date and the many collaborations that have shaped my practice. Many of the images have been taken by Ann Ray, a unique talent who captured the essence of the beautiful friendship and collaborative journey I shared with my dear friend Lee Alexander McQueen.'

'As I hope the reader will discover, these works are a milestone in my evolution as a craftsman and designer. Together they tell a story that twists and turns from the goldsmithing benches of Hatton Garden to the catwalks of London and Paris. As a young apprentice, I often visited the jewellery gallery at the V&A to be inspired by past masters and collected books as forms of reference and inspiration.'

'Over the years it has been incredibly flattering to speak with students who now reference my work - it fills me with pride to think that this book could become part of a blossoming new jeweller’s collection and inspire and provoke them, as much as I am by the beautiful books in my library.'

The exhibition will showcase an unprecedented collection of important fine jewellery commissions, historical archive designs and never-before-seen backstage photographs by world renowned photographers Ann Ray, Nick Knight, Robert Fairer and more.
