Summary:  "More than two decades ago, John Galliano and Alexander McQueen arrived on the British fashion scene when the business was in an artistic and economic rut. Both wanted to revolutionize fashion in a way no one had in decades. They shook the establishment out of its bourgeois, minimalist stupor with daring, sexy designs. They had similar backgrounds: sensitive, shy gay men raised in tough London neighborhoods, their love of fashion nurtured by their doting mothers. Galliano began as an illustrator, McQueen as a Savile Row tailor. Both struggled to get their businesses off the ground. But by 1997, each had landed a job as creative director a couture house. They turned out landmark collections in mesmerizing, theatrical shows that retailers and critics still gush about and designers continue to reference. Their approach to fashion was wildly different-- Galliano led the way with his sensual bias-cut gowns and his voluptuous hourglass tailoring, which he presented in romantic storybook-like settings. McQueen was a visionary artist who brought a new reality to fashion. At the tender age of twenty-three, McQueen did what few in fashion ever achieve: he invented a new silhouette, the Bumster. But executives pushed the designers to meet increasingly rapid deadlines. For both Galliano and McQueen, the pace was unsustainable. In 2010, McQueen took his own life"--Provided by publisher.
