Personal landmarks have propelled jeweller Shaun Leane into a reflective mood, as he marks twenty-one years of the House of Shaun Leane, his fiftieth birthday and the tenth anniversary of losing his collaborator and close friend. ‘These pivotal moments made me want to reflect back on the beauty of the different facets of my career that shaped and helped me evolve to be the designer, craftsmen and House we are today,’ he says.
These moments are the focus of a new book, released this month, which contains a wealth of previously unseen archive imagery offering us a peek behind the curtain. Ann Ray’s captures of the remarkable coil corset being fitted is just one backstage moment he reveals: created forin 1999 and formed from hand-forged aluminium rods, Leane was obliged to tighten the miniscule screws and seal model Laura Morgan into her heavy metal exoskeleton, sculpted just for her.
‘Throughout my career I have worked on collaborations, from the early 1990s with fashion designers such as McQueen, to photographers such as Nick Knight,’ Leane says.
