About this book
From the product listing
Alexander McQueen rose from an East London taxi driver's son to the most visionary designer in fashion, dressing icons from Kate Moss to the Duchess of Cambridge on her wedding day. But behind the bad-boy genius was a fragile, lonely man slowly worn down by the ruthless industry that made him. Drawing on first-ever interviews with his family, friends, and lovers, this is the sensational and tragic story of the lost boy behind the legend.
