In the book In Gods and Kings, Dana Thomas, author of Deluxe, narrates 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 yet equally successful and turbulent figures. Within twelve months, Alexander McQueen had committed suicide and John Galliano had professionally collapsed. Who was responsible? And how did fashion change from their rise and fall? Gods and Kings spans the '80s, '90s, and '00s, narrating the story of these two charismatic figures and the times of great change in the fashion world, from the loud art and club scene of London to the enchanting old elegance of Parisian fashion, revealing the intrigues of this notoriously secretive industry.
