“Despite” the 136 million albums sold throughout his long and always bright career, David Bowie is much more than just an artist: he is a trendsetter and an innovator when it comes to fashion. So let’s have a look at David Bowie fashion icon,
That is why he is known as the “chameleon of rock”, because during several dozens of years he was able to be faithful to his style, but still change it all the time, captivating millions of fans around the world. Becoming famous in the 1960s, Bowie shocked the world a few years later, when he appeared in a “man dress”. That was just the beginning of everything! Soon after that, the artist decided not only to change his public image, but also his persona, creating alter egos like Ziggy Stardust and Thin White Duke.
Even today his influence is obvious in most of the current generation of artists that we see on stage. In one way or the other, they have been inspired by David Bowie, mixed with several other music and style icons. But not only by his sound or style and also by his social heritage: Bowie was one of the first adventurers to sing about sexual freedom and drugs. The leader of the Irish band U2 even said he was the responsible for “a complete change of consciousness” in the United Kingdom, values that eventually spread across the world thanks to his music.
With all these contributions, it’s not that surprising that Bowie was considered the best dressed Briton in history, according to the BBC History Magazine. Alone, he created a whole new dimension in popular culture, so today we thank him with this awesome infographic!
