Visionaire’s Alexander McQueen Book Is Pricey

Visionaire’s tribute to Alexander McQueen, cleverly titled A Tribute to Lee Alexander McQueen, will cost $295 a copy. But the pictures are so pretty! And since they decided to put it in a box, they can’t really sell it for anything less than that. [FabSugar]

Update: The title of the book is actually Visionaire 58 Spirit, A Tribute to Lee Alexander McQueen. And in case you’re really wondering why it’s so pricey, consider this: The pages are made from seeded paper, embedded with wild flowers that, if planted and properly tended to, will bloom real flowers. The boxed set, which is limited to 1,500 numbered copies, is also wrapped in a McQueen metalized brocade from the spring/summer 2010 show.
