THE VISIONARIES: Shaun Leane, Jewellery Designer (with Alexander McQueen)

British jewellery designer Shaun Leane is one of the greatest creatives in jewellery history. His work gained cult status when he collaborated with the late, great British fashion designer Alexander McQueen. His brand continues to flourish and is worn by men and women all over the world (including Meghan Markle, Pink, Dua Lipa and Cara Delevingne).

I filmed Shaun exclusively on the day of his auction of pieces he made with/for the late Alexander McQueen at Sotheby's in New York. 'The Personal Archive of Shaun Leane' attracted browsers and buyers from around the world and sealed a moment in fashion history that will never be repeated. I am forever in awe of the pieces that were sold that day, and the stories which lay behind them. To those who were lucky enough to acquire them: treasure them with your heart.
