Dressing the Monster: Party clothes for the club kid killer

by Ernie Glam

Between 1989 and 1993, Ernie Glam made party clothes for Michael Alig, the New York City nightclub promoter who became known for his outlandish parties, and then for the grisly death of a friend in 1996. Dressing the Monster is a fashion memoir about the garments, parties and ideas behind Glam’s and Alig’s collaboration to promote and define the club kids, a group of New York City party people whose antics became widely publicized in the early 1990s.

Lacked flow and direction.
Didn't know who or what the party monster was prior to reading, so maybe that hindered my enjoyment. Maybe if you had been super into the club scene and the 'characters' in it, this would be super fun for you.
I thought the outfits were very interesting and mostly fun.
