Description

Alexander McQueen: Blood Beneath the Skin is a deeply personal and poignant portrait of one of fashion's most visionary designers. Born into humble beginnings in East London, Alexander McQueen rose to fame with his bold designs for top models such as Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell. Behind the glamour and confidence of his public persona, McQueen struggled with the pressures of his work and his own demons. This book tells the story of his rise to success, and the tragic events that ultimately led to his downfall. With unprecedented access to those closest to McQueen, this biography sheds new light on the complex and often contradictory individual who was both a master of his craft and a victim of his own ambition. A modern-day fairy tale infused with the darkness of a Greek tragedy, Alexander McQueen: Blood Beneath the Skin is a haunting and thought-provoking exploration of the human cost of fame and success.
