Ultimate Clothing Company is Alasdair McLellan’s first book. With 2000 numbered copies, the book is an intimate and real look into British masculinity in McLellan’s hometown of Doncaster, England.
Hailing from the North of England, McLellan's photography reflects his romantic fascination with English and Northern aesthetics since he embarked on his artistic journey in 1986. Inspired by icons like Bruce Weber and Steven Patrick Morrissey, his work exudes raw energy, intertwining playfulness, and melancholy.
In this intimate and introspective monograph, McLellan's photographs capture the essence of the Northern, working-class aesthetic found in Bradford's Buttershaw Estate, immortalized in the classic film "Rita, Sue and Bob Too!" by Alan Clarke. With a genuine unselfconsciousness, his images explore the ordinary with a subtle tension that echoes the spirit of writer Andrea Dunbar.
"Ultimate Clothing Company" is a meticulously crafted limited edition, edited and designed by acclaimed art directors M/M (PARIS). This numbered edition of 2,000 comes beautifully printed, accompanied by a poster-wrap dust jacket, inviting you to immerse yourself in McLellan's captivating world.
Embark on a visual journey that celebrates the raw beauty of English and Northern aesthetics, capturing the heart and soul of everyday life with sincerity and allure.
