House of McQueen
Critic Reviews
Great
Based on 4 reviews on
Winner of the Four Way Books Intro Prize as selected by Vievee Francis, Valerie Wallace's House of McQueen is a fascinating, glittering debut by an assured new voice. Inhabiting the life and work of Alexander McQueen, Wallace builds a fantastical world using both original language and excerpts drawn from interviews, supermodels, Shakespeare, Poe, and more. At turns fierce and vulnerable, precise and decadent, here is a collection that leaps from runway to fairytale to street with wild, brilliant grace.

@swellbunny Valerie Wallace's book House of McQueen is gorgeous and is not just touching on fashion but is specifically about the industry. Some of the poems weave in snippets from interviews. Here's the title poem:https://t.co/C7y8uvYaNM
