The 1950s had rock 'n' roll and the 60s had the Beats. In the 70s
and 80s, it was punk rock and modern art. But for the 1990s, it was
all about fashion and Kate Moss, Marc Jacobs, and Alexander McQueen
were the trio of rebel geniuses who made it great. Each had an
amazing talent and each had demons that would jeopardize that same
talent. Collectively, they represented a ",moment", in fashion and
pop culture that upended everything that had come before it. In the
tradition of pop-cultural histories like Girls Like Us and Easy
Riders, Raging Bulls, Maureen Callahan explores a particular,
pivotal time - the moment when the 1980s gave way to the 1990s, the
alternative became the mainstream, and Gen X took over the reins of
power in the fashion industry - through the lives of three people
who would become both fashion icons and cautionary tales of the
era. Callahan interviews insiders and reveals exclusive insights
into the biggest dramas surrounding the most celebrated
personalities of the decade: why Kate Moss and Johnny Depp broke
up, how Marc Jacobs came through the crucible of the AIDS crisis,
and what really drove Alexander McQueen to suicide. Champagne
Supernovas is the story of that singular time, as exemplified the
lives of the three luminaries who forever changed the way we think
about fashion and culture.
V januári 1965 Gabriel García Márquez cestoval s rodinou na
dovolenku do Acapulca, keď odrazu dostal nápad. Začul vravu
mestečka Macondo. Už vedel, ako napíše svoj nový román. Vrátil sa
domov, zatvoril sa do pracovne, a keď z nej po osemnástich
mesiacoch vyšiel, v ruke držal 1 300 strán rukopisu a bol šťastný.
Román Sto rokov samoty prvý raz vyšiel v roku 1967, Márquez mal
vtedy 39 rokov a svet si navždy zapamätal jeho meno. Dnes je román
považovaný za jedno z najvýznamnejších diel latinskoamerickej a
svetovej literatúry. Je komponovaný z množstva reálnych aj
fantazijných epizód a rozpráva o pôvabných i krutých príhodách
šiestich generácií rodiny Buendíovcov z fiktívneho mestečka
Macondo.
