Gods and Kings by Dana Thomas

Gods and Kings by Dana Thomas

Spanning the 80s, 90s and noughties, this book features the story of Galliano and Alexander McQueen who created a great change in the world of fashion, from London's raucous art and club scene to the old-world glamour of Parisian couture, and reveals the machinations of this notoriously secretive industry.

A page-turning tale of fashion's highest flyers * i-D *
Fascinating.. a well-told story of poetry, art and angst * Tatler *
A vivid, arresting account * Evening Standard *
More than a delicious read * InStyle *
Riveting... [Dana Thomas] is terrific at describing the shock value of their shows * Mail on Sunday *
Thomas has spoken to more than 100 fashion insiders to put together a portrait of an era dominated, in her account, by these two uncontrollable and wild talents... Thomas's narrative flits deftly between the "parallel professional journeys" of two men with a similar rebellious streak * Telegraph *
Conjures up the particular madness of the fashion treadmill, with its constant quest for newness and the inevitability that a triumph would be followed by a fall * New Statesman *
Occasionally titillating and ultimately poignant * T, The New York Times Style Magazine *
