I went straight to my mother’s womb onto the gay para”.

DIGNED FOR DTCTNFOR A TIME, STARTG THE EARLY 1990S, ISABELLA BLOW AND ALEXANR MCQUEEN WERE SEPARABLE—FASHN ME AND MASTER—LOVERS WHOUT THE SEX. THEY SHARED SOMETHG ELSE: A SELF-LOATHG SO TENSE WOULD VOUR THEM BOTH, WH BLOW’S SUICI 2007 AND MCQUEEN’S 2010. IN AN ADAPTATN OM HER NEW BOOK, CHAMPAGNE SUPERNOVAS, MREEN CALLAHAN REVEALS HOW TWO GREAT BRISH TALENTS LOST THE BATTLE OF THEIR LIV.BY MREEN CALLAHANAUGT 7, 2014SAVE THIS STORYSAVESAVE THIS STORYSAVEFROM THE BEGNG OF HIS REER, 1992, ALEXANR MCQUEEN FED HIMSELF AS A SIGNER WHO TRAFFICKED RNCH, FILTH, AND PERVERSN SO HEIGHTENED WAS ALMOST FUNNY. HE WAS AN OUTSIR, AND HE REVELED , BUT ONLY THREE YEARS LATER, HE WAS LOSG HIMSELF.HE HAD JT SHOWN HIS TUMN-WTER 1995–96 LLECTN, “HIGHLAND RAPE,” AND WAS HIS BREAKOUT: HIS MOLS STORMED THE NWAY WH BARE BREASTS, WEARG SLASHED TARTAN AND LACE AND PUNK-ROCK BBER PANTS. IT MA MCQUEEN A STAR, AND NOW HE WANTED TO F WH THE FASHN PEOPLE HE’D ONCE RIDICULED: HE’D ALREADY HAD HIS TEETH FIXED, AND WOULD LATER HAVE LIPOSUCTN ON HIS STOMACH AND LOSE THE WATTLE UNR HIS CH.HE TOOK TO LIFE AT HILL, ISABELLA AND DETMAR BLOW’S UNTRY PILE, AND ISSIE (AS SHE WAS ALWAYS KNOWN TO CLOSE IENDS), A BLUE-BLOOD STAR-MAKER WHO’D DISVERED MCQUEEN WHEN HE WAS JT A STUNT, MA SURE FALNS WERE ON HAND FOR HER BIRD-OBSSED PROTéGé. HIS IENDS FOUND ALL SO PRETENT: LEE MCQUEEN, THE BDRIVER’S SON, TRYG TO HAB THE GRANUR OF HIS NEW, MORE FASHNABLE FIRST NAME—ACTUALLY, WAS HIS MIDDLE NAME, AND WAS ISSIE WHO SUGGTED HE ADOPT . FAR MORE REGAL, SHE SAID.HE AGREED.HIS OLD IENDS, WHO STILL LLED HIM LEE, KNEW MCQUEEN WOULD SOON BE GONE. “I REMEMBER HIM TELLG ME THAT SOMEONE AT BRISH VOGUE SAID THAT WE SHOULD SPL UP,” SAYS HIS THEN BOYIEND, ANDREW GROV. “THAT WOULD BE BETTER FOR HIS REER.”MCQUEEN WAS HAPPIT SOHO’S GAY BARS, HANGG OUT WH PROSTUT. HE’D ALSO BEGUN SPENDG TIME NEW YORK, CRASHG WH HIS IEND THE FASHN SIGNER MIGUEL ADROVER. THEY’D H CLUBS THE MEATPACKG DISTRICT, OR GO TO BOWERY BAR, WHERE THEY’D SOMETIM SEE MARC JABS, THEN LLAPSE ADROVER’S BASEMENT APARTMENT THE EAST VILLAGE.BACK THE U.K., THE NCE NTUED. HE WAS ON HIS WAY TO BEG THE KD OF FASHN PERSON THAT HE LOATHED—MANDG, MATERIALISTIC, STAT-OBSSED. MCQUEEN ALSO TOLD DETMAR AND ISSIE HOW HE LIKED TO BE GRAD, HOW ONE PARTNER MA HIM HAVE SEX WH ANOTHER MAN WHILE HE WATCHED—THAT HE DIDN’T LIKE BUT THAT PLAYED TO HIS SENSE OF VICTIMIZATN.“HE WAS VERY ATTRACTED TO PEOPLE BEG ABED,” SAYS DETMAR BLOW. WHEN HE WAS YOUNGER, THERE WAS MUCH ABOUT LEE MCQUEEN THAT WAS BUOYANT AND LIGHT, SENSIVE AND RG. NOW THOSE ASPECTS WERE RECEDG.ACRDG TO MCQUEEN’S OLD IEND CHRIS BIRD, AFTER ISSIE NFID HER ABILY TO NCEIVE, MCQUEEN, WHO ULD BE WILLFULLY CEL TO THOSE HE RED FOR MOST, LATER TURNED TO DETMAR AND SAID, “I’VE HEARD YOU’VE BEEN SHOOTG BLANKS.” HE’D SEE HER SHUFFLG HIS WAY TEARS, UNDONE BY HER LATT CRISIS, AND SAY, “HERE MAD OLD ISSIE.”“LEE WASN’T THE NICT PERSON TO HER, BUT SHE LOVED HIS GENI,” SAYS SIGNER JULIEN MACDONALD, ANOTHER ISSIE DISVERY. “HE WAS SO CRAZY. ONE MUTE HE’D BE A WONRFUL PERSON, AND THE NEXT HE’D BE TELLG PEOPLE TO PISS OFF.”MANY OF MCQUEEN’S IENDS SPECTED HE WAS BIPOLAR; OVER THE YEARS, ISSIE WOULD ALSO STGGLE WH THE DISORR.“THE SIGNS WERE THERE ALL ALONG,” GROV SAYS, BUT THE HIGHS AND LOWS WERE EASILY BLAMED ON THE MAD SH TO PLETE LLECTNS. ALICE SMH, HIS FIRST PUBLICIST AND LONGTIME IEND, ALSO THOUGHT MCQUEEN MIGHT BE BIPOLAR. “HE WAS EXTREMELY VIVAC SOMETIM, AND OTHERS HE ULD HARDLY SPEAK.” SHE RELLS SEEG HIM AND ISSIE AT A CENTRAL SAT MARTS FASHN SHOW SOMETIME AFTER “HIGHLAND RAPE,” SI BY SI THE ONT ROW, STARG TO SPACE. SMH WENT OVER TO SAY HI, AND MCQUEEN, SUNGLASS, IGNORED HER.“I REMEMBER THKG, MY GOD, WHAT’S HAPPENED TO HIM?”AFTER “HIGHLAND RAPE,” EVERYTHG LEE MCQUEEN HAD BEEN WORKG TOWARD BEME REAL. HE WAS NAMED DIGNER OF THE YEAR BY THE BRISH FASHN COUNCIL. HE HAD THE MOST PRTIG SLOT AT LONDON FASHN WEEK, SHOWG LAST. LOUIS VUTON MOëT HENNSY WAS CIRCLG.LVMH WAS FORMED 1987 WHEN THE FASHN AND CHAMPAGNE PANI MERGED. BERNARD ARNLT, THE C.E.O., WAS MOST TERTED EXPANDG THE NEW PANY’S FASHN HOLDGS AND REVIVG S MTIT HO. BY 1996, ARNLT WAS NSIRG ALEXANR MCQUEEN FOR GIVENCHY.MCQUEEN WAS BREAKG A LTLE UNR THE STRS. HE WAS SEEKG RELIEF HARD DGS AND ANONYMO SEX AND HAD LOST MANY OF HIS OLD IENDS.AFTER HER LAST ENUNTER WH MCQUEEN, ALICE SMH WAS SURPRISED WHEN HE VED HER TO A GATHERG. “COME TO MY PARTY … LOADS OF CHARLIE,” THE VE READ. SMH SHOWED UP, AND THE STYLIST KATIE GRAND WAS THERE, BUT HARDLY ANYONE ELSE, MAYBE 15 PEOPLE THE SOCIALE ANNABELLE NEILSON’S VERNO NOTTG HILL FLAT. MCQUEEN WAS DOG KE THE BATHROOM; WHEN HE WAS OUT THE LIVG ROOM, EVERYONE WAS DANCG STRENUOLY, TRYG WAY TOO HARD TO HAVE FUN. HE ULDN’T HI HIS DISGT.MOST POPULARVANY FAIR’S “IT’S RAG TEENS” COVER AT 20: WHERE ARE THEY NOW?BY SAVANNAH WALSHREMEMBERG SéAD O’CONNOR’S SUBLIME MIC AND RIGHTEO RAGEBY MIKE HOGANRED, WHE & ROYAL BLUE MAY BE “THE MOST EXPENSIVE B OF FAN FICTN EVER”BY SAVANNAH WALSH“I REMEMBER GOG UP TO HIM AND SAYG, ‘ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?’ ” SMH SAYS. “AND HE SAID, ‘I’M FE, I’M FE.’ . . . HE JT GOT BLACK MOODS, AND HE ULDN’T SHAKE THEM OFF.”THE SAME WAS TE OF ISABELLA. SHE’D BEEN AT LOOSE ENDS SCE THE FALL OF 1994, WHEN BRISH VOGUE SILED HER: SHE WAS FAR TOO MERCURIAL AND EXTRAVAGANT, HAVG N UP THE BUDGET ON ONE SHOOT TO NEARLY $130,000. “SHE WOULD SAY, ‘I’M SO UNHAPPY. I’M SO UNHAPPY,’ ” PLUM SYK, HER FORMER ASSISTANT, TOLD NEW YORK MAGAZE. “AND I’D SAY, ‘BUT WHAT ABOUT DETMAR? WHAT ABOUT THIS FABULO THOAND-ACRE TATE? WHAT ABOUT YOUR GEO FLAT TOWN?’ AND SHE’D SAY, ‘BUT, PLUM, I HAVEN’T GOT A CHILD.’ ”TO THE FASHN PRS, ISSIE AND MCQUEEN STILL PRENTED THEMSELV AS SEPARABLE, THE ME AND THE MASTERMD. AND MCQUEEN DID LOVE HER. SHE WAS HIS MOST ARTICULATE AMBASSADOR, EXPLAG HIS POT OF VIEW AS HE NEVER ULD. “WHAT ATTRACTED ME TO ALEXANR,” SHE TOLD HARPER’S BAZAAR 1996, “WAS THE WAY HE TAK IAS OM THE PAST AND SABOTAG THEM WH HIS CUT TO MAKE THEM THOROUGHLY NEW. . . . HE IS LIKE A PEEPG TOM THE WAY HE SLS AND STABS AT FABRIC TO EXPLORE ALL THE EROGENO ZON OF THE BODY.”IT WAS SIAR TO THE WAY THEY SCRIBED THEMSELV: LOVERS WHOUT THE SEX. “DANTE,” THE SHOW HE STAGED A CHURCH SPALFIELDS, WOULD BE DITED TO HER.MCQUEEN WANTED THE JOB AT GIVENCHY AND CLARED HIMSELF A NVERT TO LUXURY. “I THK PEOPLE WANT THAT NOW,” HE SAID. “THEY DON’T WANT TO LOOK AS THOUGH THEY BOUGHT ALL THEIR CLOTH A THRIFT SHOP.”WH “DANTE,” MCQUEEN ED MASKS THAT REFERENCED THE RELIG INOGRAPHY OF PHOTOGRAPHER JOEL-PETER WK, SHEATHG HIS MOLS ARY ATS AND RSETRY, THEIR PALLID FAC SLASHED WH CRIMSON LIPSTICK. WRG THE NEW YORK TIM, AMY SPDLER SCRIBED “DANTE” AS A BATN OF “BLUEBLOOD AND HOT BLOOD.” MCQUEEN, SHE SAID, “BROUGHT THE EXCEMENT, EDGE AND THEATRICS HE IS KNOWN FOR BUT ADD A WONRFUL FOURTH ELEMENT FOR THE FIRST TIME: MATURY.”“FASHN IS A VAMPIRIC THG”ON OCTOBER 14, 1996, LVMH ANNOUNCED THAT ALEXANR MCQUEEN, NOW 27 YEARS OLD, WAS TAKG OVER AS HEAD SIGNER AT GIVENCHY. HIS APPOTMENT LEFT FOUNR HUBERT GIVENCHY DISNSOLATE. “I FD A TOTAL DISASTER, AND I SUFFER,” HE SAID, “BUT WHAT N I DO?”WHEN MCQUEEN TOOK THE JOB AT GIVENCHY, ISABELLA ASSUMED THAT SHE’D BE NAMED THE HOE ME, THAT MCQUEEN WOULD PUT HER ON SALARY. HE GAVE HER NOTHG. SHE WAS HEARTBROKEN.“SHE GAVE LEE EVERYTHG,” SAYS JULIEN MACDONALD. “ALL HER MONEY, ALL HER TIME, ALL HER ENERGY. SHE TRODUCED HIM TO EVERYBODY. AND THEN, WHEN HE WENT TO GIVENCHY AND HE HAD MONEY, HE TOLD HER TO PISS OFF. HE HAD LNS, SHE WAS PENNILS, AND HE GAVE HER NOTHG. HE JT SHUT THE DOOR.”ISSIE, HOPEFUL ALL WOULD BE MA RIGHT, TRIED TO KEEP HER MOUTH SHUT, BUT NOT LONG AFTERWARD, WHILE BEG TERVIEWED, SHE GOT DNK AND THE TTH ME OUT.“THE ROLE OF A ME IS CHANGG,” SHE SAID. “IF ALEXANR SOME OF MY IAS HIS SHOW, AND HE HAS, I DON’T GET PAID; HE DO.”MCQUEEN WAS FUR. HIS GREAT BASELE FEAR WAS THAT EVERYONE HE KNEW, EXCEPT HIS MOTHER, WAS G HIM. ISSIE WOULD ASK, “DO YOU REMEMBER THE GOOD OLD DAYS?

HE WAS NNG AROUND WH KATE MOSS AND NAOMI CAMPBELL, BELLA FRD, AND ELTON JOHN. HE HATED TAKG THE EUROSTAR, SO LVMH OFTEN FLEW HIM AND HIS TEAM BACK AND FORTH—MERCIAL, NOT PRIVATE. THEY GAVE HIM A DRIVER AND AN APARTMENT PARIS, WHICH HE SHARED WH HIS CREW.

WAS THIS HELLN PABLE OF GOG MERCIAL?MCQUEEN’S BUT WON MIXED REVIEWS. HE “LEFT HIS DIENCE LD AND NFED WH HIS FIRST SHOW FOR GIVENCHY,” WROTE AMY SPDLER THE NEW YORK TIM. BUT HEATH BROWN THE TIM WAS LDATORY: “THE GAMBLE HAS PAID OFF,” HE WROTE. “MCQUEEN PHED THE BOUNDARI OF FASHN TO S LIMS.”AFTER THAT FIRST SHOW, LEE MCQUEEN WAS GONE. HE WAS ALEXANR NOW, THE IMPERIAL GENI.“GIVENCHY WAS THE POT WHERE LEE STARTED TO CHANGE, ON MANY LEVELS,” SAYS SIMON COST, HIS THEN SET SIGNER. “THE STRS VOLVED DOG PRêT-à-PORTER, UTURE, AND HIS OWN LABEL WAS PRETTY HORRENDO.” COST, LIKE OTHERS BEFORE HIM, BEGAN TO SPECT MCQUEEN WAS BIPOLAR. “HE WAS UP AND DOWN A LOT MORE, HARR TO WORK WH,” COST SAYS. “THE PEOPLE WHO PERHAPS ANSWERED BACK OR SAID ‘DON’T BE RIDICULO’ WOULD DISAPPEAR.”WHEN KATE BETTS TERVIEWED MCQUEEN FOR AN AMERIN VOGUE PROFILE, HE L TO HER.

THAT’S WHAT A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE DONE TO ME, BEE THEY N’T UNRSTAND WHAT I DO.”FEELG ABANDONED BY MCQUEEN, ISSIE FOUND A NEW PROTéGé, AMERIN SIGNER JEREMY STT. IT WAS LIKE TNTG AN OLD LOVER WH A NEW ONE, AND STT IMPLIED THAT MCQUEEN WAS THREATENED: “ISABELLA TOLD ME HE THREW AN ASHTRAY AT HER AND SAID HE WANTED TO KILL ME,” STT SAID. “BUT I DON’T KNOW THAT I BELIEVE . SHE WAS ALWAYS TALKG ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE AND HOW THEY DID HER WRONG.” HE WAS 24 YEARS OLD, AS BRASH AS MCQUEEN, HIS TOP ROW OF TEETH ENSED A GOLD GRILL THAT SPELLED J-E-R-E-M-Y. THE FASHN PRS LOVED HIM.IN 1997, THE INPENNT RAN A PROFILE OF STT LLED “MOVE OVER MCQUEEN—HERE COM THE KANSAS RANGER.” STT WAS PERFECT FOR ISSIE AT THE MOMENT, AND HER ARTFUL FETS, THE IA SHE’D LOVE ANOTHER SIGNER AS MUCH, IF NOT MORE, KEPT MCQUEEN G AROUND. HE STILL LENT HER SOME PIEC, WHICH SHE FOUND A PATHETIC METAPHOR FOR THEIR RELATNSHIP. “HE LIK TO E THE CLOTH AS POWER OVER ME,” SHE WOULD LATER SAY, BUT OM MCQUEEN’S PERSPECTIVE, ISSIE HAD BEE A BOTTOMLS P OF NEED: THERE WAS NO SATISFYG HER, AND SHE WAS SELF-STCTG.“SHE’D MA SOME PRETTY RASH AND NOT GREAT CISNS ABOUT HER OWN REER,” SAYS CHRIS BIRD. “SHE’D GONE ON HOLIDAYS AND NOT RETURNED. SHE WASN’T TURNG UP FOR WORK AND GETTG FIRED AND SHE PUTS HER HOPE ON LEE. . . . HIS STCT WAS ‘I WANT TO BE MY OWN PERSON.

INSTEAD, SHE WENT TO PHILIP FOR HATS AND GAVE THE PRS A TORTURED EXPLANATN: “FASHN IS A VAMPIRIC THG,” SHE SAID. “THAT’S WHY I WEAR THE HATS, TO KEEP EVERYONE AWAY OM ME. THEY SAY, ‘OH, N I KISS YOU?’ I SAY, ‘NO, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THAT’S WHY I’VE WORN THE HAT.

WHEN ME TO THAT, ISSIE WOULD NEVER JUDGE.“CAN EVERYBODY NOT GIVE LEE ANY DGS?”IN 1997, FOR THE SEND TIME TWO YEARS, THE BRISH FASHN COUNCIL NAMED MCQUEEN DIGNER OF THE YEAR (AN HONOR HE SHARED WH JOHN GALLIANO). NO NUMBER OF ACLAS ULD SWAY HIS TRACTORS: “HIS ONLY EFULNS,” VIVIENNE WTWOOD SAID LATER, “IS AS A MEASURE OF ZERO TALENT.” YV SAT LRENT LLED HIM A “TALENTLS UPSTART.”AS TURNED OUT, MCQUEEN HATED FRANCE.

HE’D MET A NEW MAN, GEE FORSYTH, WHO, AT 22, WAS SEVERAL YEARS YOUNGER THAN MCQUEEN AND HAD NEVER BEEN EXPOSED TO THE FASHN DTRY.
