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. Featuring never-before-seen backstage photographs by world renowned photographers Ann Ray, Nick Knight, Robert Fairer and more.

The deluxe edition Shaun Leane book is housed in a luxurious slipcase featuring the iconic Porcupine Quill Fan earrings created for Alexander McQueen's SS03 collection Irere. On closer inspection a pure white book cover is revealed, elegantly debossed with the graphic outline of the quill earrings; remaining true to Leane's signature aesthetics - clean, powerful lines with a sense of modern romance.

Also included is a beautiful unseen image shot by leading fashion photographer Rob Rusling. Printed on black archival card with vivid silver ink, the Porcupine Quill Fan earrings are captured in an entirely new light. This special collector's print is signed and dated by both Leane and the photographer, with a limited edition of 250 copies.
