When Alexander McQueen committed suicide in February 2010, aged
just 40, a shocked world mourned the loss of its most visionary
fashion designer. McQueen had risen from humble beginnings as the
youngest child of an East London taxi driver to scale the heights
of fame, fortune and glamour. He designed clothes for the world's
most beautiful women including Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell. In
business he created a multi-million pound luxury brand that became
a favourite with both celebrities and royalty, most famously the
Duchess of Cambridge who wore a McQueen dress on her wedding day.
But behind the confident facade and bad-boy image, lay a sensitive
soul who struggled to survive in the ruthless world of fashion. As
the pressures of work intensified, so McQueen became increasingly
dependent on the drugs that contributed to his tragic end.
Meanwhile, in his private life, his failure to find lasting love
with a string of boyfriends only added to his despair. And then
there were the dark secrets that haunted his sleep... A modern-day
fairy tale infused with the darkness of a Greek tragedy, Alexander
McQueen: Blood Beneath the Skin is soon to be adapted for film,
directed by Andrew Haigh (45 Years). This book tells the
sensational story of McQueen's rise from his hard East London
upbringing to the hedonistic world of fashion. Those closest to the
designer - his family, friends and lovers - have spoken for the
first time about the man they knew, a fragmented and insecure
individual, a lost boy who battled to gain entry into a world that
ultimately destroyed him.
