## Description

"A startling tale of ambition, creativity, fame, and ultimately tragedy. This is a terrific book." —Jon Meacham The New York Times bestselling author of Deluxe and Fashionopolis chronicles the making and unmaking of two of the greatest fashion designers of our time In the mid-1990s, John Galliano and Alexander McQueen exploded onto a fashion scene that was in an artistic and economic rut. Their daring visions shook the establishment out of its bourgeois, minimalist stupor with vibrant, sexy designs and theatrical runway shows. By the end of the decade, each had been hired to run one of couture’s most storied houses, Galliano at Dior and McQueen at Givenchy. They were icons of a new generation of rock-star designers who headlined the transformation of luxury fashion from a small clutch of family-owned businesses into a global, multibillion-dollar corporate industry. But the pace was unsustainable. In 2010, McQueen took his own life. A year later, Galliano was fired in the wake of an alcohol-fueled, anti-Semitic diatribe. In her groundbreaking work Gods and Kings , acclaimed fashion journalist Dana Thomas tells the true story of two unforgettable artists. In so doing, she pulls back the curtain on the revolution that has remade high fashion over the last two decades—and the price it demanded from the very ones who saved it.

Review: Very good biography - This book is so interesting and well researched . It fills in some holes left by the McQueen documentary . Really enjoyed it.
Review: Magnificent - An incredibly written about two of the world’s most complex, talented, yet deeply damaged souls. A wonderful history and an even better listen on audiobook. I’ve been a long time admirer of McQueen’s work while being much more aware of his life story versus Galliano. A must read for anyone who enjoys fashion and fashion biographies. I only wish there were more photos; though the author did a phenomenal job bringing the images to life.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Inside Look at the Fashion Industry
*by M***E on February 25, 2015*

This book was fascinating to read, and I am not all that interested in couture fashion. The rise of two gay men from humble beginnings to wealth and power was what kept me clicking through the pages. But I now understand a little better why designers show outrageous creations on the runway, how the fashion houses make money, and how much pressure the star designers are under. Note: If you read this on Kindle, be aware that pictures of the designers and their creations are at the end of the file.
