InGods and KingsDana Thomas, author ofDeluxe, tells the story of how John Galliano and Alexander McQueen changed the face of fashion

In the first decade of the 21st century the fashion world was dominated by two different but equally successful and turbulent figures.

Recenzii

A page-turning tale of fashion's highest flyers
Fascinating... a well-told story of poetry, art and angst
A vivid, arresting account
More than a delicious read
Riveting... [Dana Thomas] is terrific at describing the shock value of their shows
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
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
Occasionally titillating and ultimately poignant
