Champagne Supernovas: Kate Moss, Marc Jacobs, Alexander McQueen, and the '90s Renegades Who Remade Fashion | Maureen Callahan
5 posts | 2 read | 1 reading | 8 to read
Terrifically exciting and fun (Publishers Weekly), Champagne Supernovas is a lucid, smoothly executed look at a pivotal decade in the legacy of American fashion (Kirkus Reviews) as told through the lives of Kate Moss, Marc Jacobs, and Alexander McQueenthe three iconic personalities who defined the time. Veteran pop culture journalist Maureen Callahan takes us back to the pivotal style moment of the early 1990swhen supermodel glamazons gave way to heroin chic, when the alternative became the mainstream, and when fashion suddenly became the cradle for the most exciting artistic and cultural innovations of the age. Champagne Supernovas gives you the inside scoop from a bevy of supermodels, stylists, editors, photographers, confidantes, club kids, and scenesters who were there. Theyll tell the unvarnished story of three of the most influential personalities to emerge in fashion in decadesKate, Marc, and McQueenand show why the conditions in the 1990s were perfect for their risebut also helped contribute to their personal struggles. Steeped in the creative brew of art, decadence, and genius that defined the era, Champagne Supernovas is a titillating ride through the fashion world (Elle) that offers readers front-row tickets to a gloriously debauched soap opera about the losers and freaks who became the industrys It Girls and Boysand who changed the larger culture forever.

Celebrating the 4th a tad early with my parents and in laws today. 🇺🇸🍾 My parents didn't have ice and it's so hot out, so I added frozen fruit to keep my champagne chilled. Why does anyone want to do anything when it's so hot? 😩😩😩

Jennick2004 Yum!! Frozen grapes are good! 7y
