Media Reviews

A master stylist with hideously interesting new-fangled manners and the heart of an old-fashioned moralist. * Observer *
Gets under the skin of our celebrity culture in a way that is both illuminating and frightening. * Daily Telegraph *
Does for the cold, minimal '90s what American Psycho did for the Wall Street greed of the '80s. You name it, he manages to get it all in. * Vogue *
Brilliant . . . He is fast becoming a writer of real American genius. * GQ *
