{"product_id":"alexander-mcqueen","title":"ALEXANDER MCQUEEN: BLOOD BENEATH THE SKIN","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhen Alexander McQueen committed suicide in February 2010, aged just 40, a shocked world mourned the loss of a visionary fashion designer. McQueen had risen from humble beginnings as the youngest child of an East London taxi driver to create a luxury brand that became a favorite with both celebrities and royalty, most famously the Duchess of Cambridge, who wore a McQueen dress on her wedding day. But as the biographer of Patricia Highsmith and Harold Robbins reveals here, behind the confident fa?ade and bad-boy image there was a sensitive man who carried dark secrets, failed to find lasting love, and became increasingly dependent on drugs. Andrew Wilson gives us McQueen's life as something of a modern-day fairy tale infused with the darkness of a Greek tragedy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42971447165094,"sku":"9781471157998","price":24.9,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0443\/8471\/4918\/products\/9781471157998_1.jpg?v=1656033390","url":"https:\/\/bookxcess.myshopify.com\/products\/alexander-mcqueen","provider":"Staging Site ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
