Gods and Kings: The Rise and Fall of Alexander McQueen and John Galliano by Dana Thomas

4.25

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I was engrossed in every little detail. Honestly, this book could have been 600+ pages and I would still want more. It is interesting that the book was published in 2015 and ended the book not knowing the future of Galliano. If the 2024 met gala was any indication, Galliano's past antisemitic comments have been completely forgiven because every single celeb was in Galliano.

I have a bias towards McQueen, even though he could obviously be a pompous, misogynistic, ass, I felt like the author also favored McQueen over Galliano. It felt like Thomas was gently guiding readers to compare the two and put McQueen in a slightly better light, if ever so slightly.
