Mcqueen'S Family Life Is Not Simple.
From March 2015 to August, McQueen's exhibition of "beauty of the wild" opened at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, where 600 biographies of McQueen were scheduled to be displayed in the museum.
Just two weeks before the launch, publishers were told that the museum would not be stocking up.
The reason is that Wilson has revealed in the book that McQueen was a victim of child sexual abuse. He had the habit of taking drugs and was also a HIV positive carrier.
He was sexually assaulted by two men at an early age. One was sister Janet's first husband, Terence Huyler, and the other was his teacher. The injury began when McQueen was nine years old.
All of this shocked Wilson, while the brand side believed that some of the facts were unsuitable for publication.
"Companies should not cooperate with this book.
"Wilson once told" time "magazine that McQueen brand is now a subsidiary of Kai Yun group.
However, the book was published successfully this year. In the reader evaluation of Amazon, Alexander McQueen:Blood Beneath the Skin performed well, scoring four stars and five stars.
"Write McQueen's best book."
A reader wrote on Amazon, "the information is rich and the language is beautiful, which makes people fondle admiringly."
In the US version of Alexander McQueen:Blood Beneath the Skin, the price of Kindle is 14.99 dollars, about 96 yuan, and the paper version is 16.84 yuan, or about 107 yuan.
There are many books written in Alexander McQueen, but Andrew Wilson is called the first biography author who works happily with McQueen's family.
A new biography of Mai Kun was sold in the United States in September 1st, entitled "Alexander McQueen:Blood Beneath the Skin". (Alexander McQueen: under the skin) it sounds a bit dark and a little crazy, just like McQueen's symbolic skull.

Judith Watt
In Alexander McQueen, writers scrambled to dig out the genius designer's life.
His life is mysterious. If he writes as many articles as Yamamoto Teruji or produces two albums, maybe we can go into his spiritual world more.
But there is no such thing, no diary and no attempt to cross the border.
Most of the biographies came from the models he collaborated with, editors of fashion magazines, buyers, photographers and so on. We pieced together an interpretation of his inspiration and working environment in a few words of celebrities such as Kate Moss.
In fact, the new book written by Andrew Wilson, like Alexander Judith McQueen of Judith Watt, tells about the short life of McQueen from the poor family who was born in East London taxi driver to the last suicide.
Of course, the mental problems that describe his dependence on drugs and sex, love, design inspiration and work stress are also the main components.
But after the first publication of the British edition in Britain in the first half of this year, people seem to have noticed its special place, that is, the participation of McQueen family in the process of writing is unprecedented.
"Wilson is the first to receive.
McQueen
A biographer of family blessing and cooperation.
In his narrative, he interspersed interviews with many of his former colleagues, students, friends, sexual partners, and so on. He constantly reminds us of McQueen's brilliant imagination, even though the whole book is still full of melancholy and wild nature, but it can change the way we look at fashion in the past.
The financial times commented.
The Daily Telegraph said, "the work of Andrew Wilson has given us a fearless look at the price of McQueen's imaginative poetry.
At first glance, this book is like a fan book by Mai Kun family support, but in fact it is a highly readable book with rich survey data.
"
In the first chapter of the book, the author shows many descriptions of McQueen's mother Joyce McQueen and McQueen's brother Michael McQueen.
Together, they talked about how McQueen's father died early and how he grew up under his mother's care.
This suddenly led to the 2010 McQueen's suspicion that she was too worried about her mother's death to commit suicide.
At the same time, the book is constantly written.
Lee McQueen
The name of Lee is the name of Mai Kun's relatives and friends, and the rest of the world is only familiar with the name of Alexander McQueen.
Wilson hopes to write the life of McQueen in a more real way, rather than using the dreadful depression and the slack of the spiritual world to verify his work.
"Alexander McQueen:Blood Beneath the Skin" also focuses on the 2000 Voss show, McQueen's abandoned bus depot in London.
Voss is known as one of McQueen's best shows. It looks more like a device art show, a large mirror, a girl with a bandage around her head, dressed in various shells and seafood elements. She will tear the bandage when she walks through the mirror, sometimes showing mechanical movements, which makes her hair creep.
The background music is full of the noise of Tzi, and the frequency is constantly rising. It's very uncomfortable to watch the video. Don't mention the audience at that time.
Until now, there are still netizens in Youtube's Voss video message, asking: "what is in the dark box?" everyone seems to have been brought into the scene, splitting and excited.
Finally, the box opened, a bare fat woman with a respirator, and hundreds of moths suddenly flying into the air.
However, despite the family's cooperation, the book has not been supported by the McQueen brand.
In 2015, an article published by The Times revealed that the Alexander McQueen fashion brand is deliberately alienating Mai Kun's "dark talent".
