How David Bowie Influenced The Fashion World (And Still Does)



David Bowie's legacy extends well past this planet, with his extraordinary change consciences, melodies about space, and space explorers singing his tunes from the International Space Station. Be that as it may, and additionally his mind boggling music, it is his interesting feeling of inventive style that the design world just wouldn't be the same without. Despite the fact that he generally asserted that he wasn't occupied with style, rather that he needed his music to 'look how it sounds', he was an enormous impact on numerous creators. Holy person Laurent's Hedi Slimane adored him in his Diamond Dogs days (and later dressed him for his visits), and where might Phoebe Philo's manly customizing at Celine or Alessandro Michele's hermaphrodism at Gucci be without him? Maybe they just wouldn't have been.

Conceived David Robert Jones in 1947, as a young person in the mid-Sixties he was a mod. Not at all like other parka-clad bike lovers of the time whose style got caught in that period, he grasped the genuine importance of the word mod – innovator – and moved with the times a couple of years after the fact to be a since quite a while ago haired hippy who passed by the stage name David Bowie.

Be that as it may, it was in 1972 and with his second adjust personality, Ziggy Stardust, that Bowie truly solidified himself as an amusement evolving symbol, one able to do without any help beginning social moves and bringing forth incalculable copycats that you can at present see confirmation of on the catwalks in any given season. Ziggy was a sexually vague rock star who wore make-up, shaved off his eyebrows, and had a propensity for wearing skin-tight catsuits (in some cases one-legged ones) and glitz rock stage boots. He likewise composed outrageously great melodies.

Bowie slaughtered off Ziggy in 1973, only a year after his incarnation, and was prepared to proceed onward to the following character. Aladdin Sane (a quip on A Lad Insane) had the same red hair as Ziggy yet was considerably more OTT – he's the one in that famous picture (top) with the lightning jolt make-up. By the mid-Seventies however, Bowie had conditioned it down and was wearing sharp suits with his blanched light hair slicked back. This new persona was known as the Thin White Duke, who Bowie once portrayed in one of the coolest sentences ever expressed as 'ice taking on the appearance of flame'. And after that, 10 years on, nobody accomplished for peach and powder blue customizing what David Bowie did in the Eighties.

Straight up until his inconvenient takeoff from this world, David Bowie kept on moving style creatives all over the place. This season, you can see components of Bowie - in every one of his pretenses - in many accumulations, from the cutting edge make-up at Gareth Pugh and Maison Margiela, to the curiously large customizing in quieted tones at Loewe and Stella McCartney. Actually, a negligible five hours after the news of his demise broke, tributes were spotted on the catwalk at LC:M at the Sean Suen menswear appear. Without David Bowie - and Ziggy Stardust, the Thin White Duke, Major Tom, Aladdin Sane - the design world would be a much more blunt.
