Beautiful People by Simon Doonan
A witty, confessional memoir that traces the author’s upbringing in postwar England to his flamboyant rise in the world of fashion and retail, blending sharp pop-culture critique, backstage anecdotes from high-fashion and celebrity circles, and candid reflections on sexuality, ambition and taste. With mordant humor and affectionate satire, it catalogs obsessions, humiliations and triumphs as he reinvents himself across cities and decades, offering lively portraits of style, fame and the rituals of modern life.
The 12250th greatest book of all time
