Personal Alexander McQueen even I knew so far but only very little. I had some information about him and his life to talk, read times there, but overall I was the man virtually unknown.
This biography of Andrew Wilson then brought light into the darkness and filled the name 'Alexander McQueen' with life.
His family, partners, friends and classmates / colleagues / employees comment on the relative gaps 90s and 2000s, in which McQueen began his career and about one and a half decades successfully led.
It was interesting to read that he has learned his trade from the bottom up, and not only in England but also in Italy, among others. Diesgepaart with his creative ideas, his innovative talent and cutting his eye open on the (failed) creations of other artists then led to the quite large (like) s Collections.
From head to toe, from hat to shoes he created groundbreaking new. , , and (for many a viewer) shocking.
And women are presented as a strong, self-confident people.
Conclusion: Andrew Wilson sets with 'Alexander McQueen: Blood Beneath the Skin' an informative and liquid biography written one of the most important fashion designers of recent decades ago.
Cool would be solely a few more photos from both McQueen and his collections. But there is then luckily the handsomely illustrated books by Kristin Knox, Judith Watt and Alexander Bolton / Harold Koda.
