Alexander McQueen: Blood Beneath the Skin by Andrew Wilson

5.0

Heartbreaking, beautiful, and wonderful. Rare is it that a book can make me tear up, but this one certainly did. Even if fashion is not necessarily your "thing" this book is incredibly insightful and yet another reminder that the mental health system is broken, not just in America, but everywhere. And more importantly, the different stigmas and assumptions that are placed on people who suffer from mental health issues are inhumane. My interpretation of the story is that like with other creative geniuses, mental health issues are excused, ignored, or belittled because the creations of those who suffer are more important continues to infuriate me.

Gee, this is the longest book review I've ever done. Rant done.
