His iconic androgynous look He was the king of reinvention, so it’s no surprise that David Bowie was one of the biggest inspirations the fashion world has ever known David Bowie’s legacy stretches well beyond this planet, with his otherworldly alter egos, songs about space, and astronauts singing his tunes from the International Space Station. But as well as his incredible music, it is his unique sense of innovative style that the fashion world just wouldn’t be the same without. Even though he always claimed that he wasn’t interested in fashion, rather that he wanted his music to ‘look how it sounds’, he was a huge influence on many designers. Saint Laurent’s Hedi Slimane loved him in his Diamond Dogs days (and later dressed him for his tours), and where would Phoebe Philo’s masculine tailoring at Celine or Alessandro Michele’s androgyny at Gucci be without him? Perhaps they just wouldn’t have been. Source: www.instyle.co.uk
