(More customer reviews)This can only be laughingly called a book. This is a compilation of Wikipedia pages put together as a book, I was able to read it in 15 minutes and learned nothing. There are a total of 5 pages dedicated to Lee McQueen and Gaultier (all 5 of which were their respective Wikipedia pages) and the rest was the Wikipedia pages of the celebrities that have worn their clothes! This so-called book is a waste of time, do yourself a favor and pass this one up!

The term "enfant terrible" refers to a child who behaves badly. When it comes to fashion, it typically refers to designers who may have pushed the envelope creatively, offended people, were rebellious, and didn't follow the norms or trends. In this industry, the two enfants terrible are French designer Jean-Paul Gaultier, and British designer Alexander McQueen. Gaultier is famous for the cone-bra he designed for Madonna and the promotion of skirts for men. McQueen is known for being the head designer of Givenchy then for launching the "bumsters" which resulted in the low-rise jeans trend. The book takes a look at these two talented designer and the tragic death of McQueen in February 2010.
