3.4 stars. I had read a fe other books by Andrew Wilson and decided to pick this one up as well even though I wasn't very knowledged in Alexander McQueen. I'm not very interested in fashion and designers but I was intruiged by the blurb and I found this to be very interesting. Tragic but interesting. Might need to look up more about Alexander McQueen to see his works and so on. Thought I was rather odd there was no pictures of anything he had made or done but it was an okay biography anywho. Might have thought differently if I had known more about fashion and Alexander going into this.

A lot of feels.
Difficile de raconter un récit précis de la vie de McQueen. Il n'était que contradictions, semblait raconter beaucoup de mensonges pour faire parler de lui, et n'a pas laissé de lettres ou de carnets (à mes connaissances). Dans cette situation, on doit se baser sur des oui-dires, des entrevues, des discussions avec des gens qui l'ont connu. En sachant cette difficulté, je trouve que cette biographie écrite par Andrew Wilson est un ouvrage qui se veut le plus complet possible, et la recherche qui a été faite est impressionnante; mais pas aussi impressionnant que le travail magistral de McQueen. Un génie tourmenté.
