Summary:  "A biography of the iconic, notoriously private British fashion designer Alexander McQueen, exploring the connections between his dark work and even darker life. When forty-year-old Alexander McQueen committed suicide in February 2010, a shocked world mourned the loss. McQueen had risen from humble beginnings as the son of an East London taxi driver to scale the heights of fame, fortune, and glamour. He designed clothes for the world's most beautiful women and royalty, most famously the Duchess of Cambridge, who wore a McQueen dress on her wedding day. He created a multimillion-dollar luxury brand that became a favorite with celebrities including Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell. But behind the confident facade and bad-boy image, lay a sensitive soul who struggled to survive in the ruthless world of fashion. As the pressures of work intensified, McQueen became increasingly dependent on the drugs that contributed to his tragic end. Meanwhile, in his private life, his failure to find lastinglove in a string of boyfriends only added to his despair. And then there were the dark secrets that haunted his sleep. A modern-day fairy tale infused with the darkness of a Greek tragedy. Those closest to the designer--his family, friends, and lovers--speak about the man they knew, a fragmented individual, a lost boy who battled to gain entry into a world that ultimately destroyed him. Andrew Wilson's biography dispels myths, corrects inaccuracies, and offers new insights into McQueen's private life and the source of his creative genius"--Provided by publisher. Genre:  Biographies.
