Spirit, issue # 58 of limited-edition art periodical/object Visionaire, is a tribute to the late fashion iconoclast Alexander McQueen, and a lot of creative people he inspired will contribute pieces to the book: Lady Gaga, Steven Meisel, Steven Klein, Nick Knight, Mario Testino, and Inez Van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin, among others.

It's the first real public media output related to McQueen since his death in February at age 40, and appropriate, too, since McQueen approached Visionaire a few years ago wanting to collaborate on an issue, one that was never realized.

The nicest touch: it turns into flowers. The issue will include images inspired by McQueen, printed on paper embedded with wildflower seeds. When you plant the pages, water and sun them, they'll eventually blossom.

Which is kind of lovely. Unless you're incapable of growing anything, in which case you probably shouldn't compound the sadness.
