Summary:
"A history of fashion in the 1990s, told through the lives of Kate Moss, Marc Jacobs, and Alexander McQueen -- the three iconic personalities who defined the time. In the 1990s, it was all about the fashion -- and these were the trio of rebel geniuses who made it great. The author takes you back to the 90s, to the moment when supermodel glamazons gave way to heroin chic, the alternative became the mainstream, and fashion became the cradle for the most exciting artistic and cultural innovations of the age. Dishy stories of some of the most celebrated personalities of the day, the inside scoop from designers like Anna Sui and Isaac Mizrahi; scenesters like Kim Gordon of Sonic Youth and Sassy magazine’s Jane Pratt; plus a bevy of supermodels, stylists, editors, photographers, confidantes, club kids, and scenesters. They'll discuss why Kate Moss and Johnny Depp broke up, how Marc Jacobs came through the crucible of the AIDS crisis, and what really drove Alexander McQueen to suicide. Steeped in the creative brew of art, decadence, and genius that defined the era, you have front-row tickets to a gloriously debauched soap opera about the losers and freaks who became It Girls and Boys, and changed the world in spite of themselves"--Provided by publisher.
