David Bowie is, well, David fucking Bowie. The man has been a major figure for almost twice as long as most of us here have even been alive. And while we’re not going to get into the whole cycle of music influencing fashion influencing music thing, it’s definitely worth mentioning that Bowie is just as important to style as he is music. The Ziggy Stardust days are over, but there are plenty of other style cues you can take from ...... continue reading
