Description: "Peter and Gerard make clothes for ten years. Each season&#x2019;s outfits are inspired by the fantastic excesses of their muses: Artist Gertrude Stein&#x2019;s dinners, Tonya Harding&#x2019;s attack on rival skater Nancy Kerrigan, the request of Christina of Denmark to marry Henry VIII only when she&#x2019;ll have a head to spare, the freckled eternal teen face of Sissy Spacek (covered in pig blood in De Palma&#x2019;s Carrie or murderously innocent in Malick&#x2019;s Badlands), the delusional Shelley Duval, the Guardian-reader-type righteous Candice-Marie from Mike Leigh&#x2019;s Nuts in May etc.  They are strong, they make mistakes, they dress well. Also contains essays by Emily King and Susannah Frankel"--Publisher's description.
