			        		Advance Praise for Dana Thomas&apos;s&#xA0;Gods and KingsJon Meacham, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Thomas Jefferson and American Lion:&#xA0;&#x201C;Dana Thomas has written a real-life saga that is as engaging and compelling as a work of great fiction. By taking us inside the fascinating world of fashion, she gives us a startling tale of ambition, creativity, fame, and ultimately tragedy. This is a terrific book.&#x201D;Michael Gross, author of Model and House of Outrageous Fortune:&#xA0;&#x201C;Comprehensive, detailed, coldly accurate yet extraordinarily sympathetic, Dana Thomas&#x2019;s Gods and Kings is a fascinating double biography of two dressmakers of genius. But it&apos;s also a riveting, definitive history of the three decades in which fashion devolved from a coddling cottage business to a cutthroat industry quite capable of killing its young. As commerce triumphs over art, you can only cringe, but you also have to admire Thomas&apos;s exhaustive account of what fashion folk would no doubt refer to as a moment that will never, and can never, be repeated.&#x201D;Teri Agins, author of Hijacking the Runway and The End of Fashion:&#xA0;&#x201C;John Galliano and Alexander McQueen raised the bar creatively and theatrically with their high-impact fashion shows. In Gods and Kings, Paris based fashion writer Dana Thomas digs deep with the zeal of a historian, to chronicle the parallel dramas of the British fashion wunderkinds, whose careers ended tragically, way too soon.&#x201D;Richard Johnson, columnist,&#xA0;The New York Post&quot;McQueen and Galliano were two peas in a perverse pod who revolutionized fashion. No one but Dana Thomas could have explained with such insight how their fantasies became ours and directed our dreams.&quot;
