Fashion Beast

Fashion Beast is a 2012 ten issue limited series and screenplay by Alan Moore, Malcolm McLaren, and Antony Johnston.

[2] The series begins with Doll, who dreams of stardom, getting fired from her job as a coat checker at a trendy dance club after an angry patron vandalises the cloakroom.

Despite her audition being panned by the elderly women that run his fashion house and factory, Celestine chooses Doll to be his newest model.

Emotional due to the lie, Doll runs downstairs and confronts his managers, who tell her that they keep Celestine in the dark because he is only capable of designing beautiful clothing because he believes himself ugly.

Upset and disappointed at how much everything has changed in both herself and the outside world, Doll returns home and finds that Celestine has slit his wrists in an attempt to seek freedom from the fashion house he considers a prison.

Fashion Beast was originally written by Moore in 1985 while he was working on Watchmen, with the intention of it becoming a full-length feature film.
