Having read the article and extracts from the book do I really want to read it? It's an in depth biography about the seedier side of his life. Now most people are not naive McQueen partied with the hardest including Kate Moss during the drugs days, we know the man was no angel, his clothes themselves represent that! If you have seen one of his shows its is blindingly obvious that he had a somewhat strange look on things. However, this never took away from his incredible talent, his clothes were revolutionary in British Fashion. Now he has gone do we really need to know all the sordid details? As a nation we can't help ourselves we love to hear of other people's lives, loves and misfortune.
I know will read this book but I will do so with a very open mind, I do not want stories of his life to ruin the way I look at his clothes!
I will say it may give me a different perspective when I go to see his exhibition at the V&A in April with my girls from Uni, but I know it will not change my love of his unique clothing and style.
