David Bowie

née David Robert Jones

was arguably one of the greatest innovative voices

in the music industry.

An impressive career, which spanned decades

he was a chameleon creative:

ever-changing, ever-inventing, ever-shocking.

 

 

…

What was predictable, was his celebrated unpredictability:

his music which, fused different styles/genres of musicality and

his image which, resonated agender aspect.

…

 

His on and off stage clothing aesthetics was focus of the exhibition

David Bowie Is

which was curated/staged in 2013 at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London.

 

…

He was an avant-garde pop artist

a provocative meld of actor/musician

assuming varied personae, distinguished by specific fashion

as headline to promote the varied tales of his life musical journey.

His was a multi-sensuous approach to his craft,

a visual and sound extravaganza.

Fashion designers take inspiration from … well from everything

what is seen … the varied colours of a bird’s plumage

what is felt … the softness of a textile type

what has been … an historical period

what is current … street wear

what is heard … on the radio

…

Designer Jean Paul Gaultier, once known as the

‘enfant terrible of pop couture’ –

because of his often considered outrageous

 avant garde irreverence of traditions in fashion –

has inked a lasting mark on the pages of fashion history.

…

The designer cranked up the volume for his  s/s  2013

and created a runway extravaganza, which paid homage to

the stage fashion of famed ’80s music icons.

…

Remember – it was Gaultier, who collaborated with

Madonna on the wardrobe for her Blond Ambition Tour –

producing the infamous cone bra and setting in motion

the trend of underwear as outerwear.

…

…

Mr. Gaultier has been in the forefront of fashion innovation since

his rise to international acclaim in the 1980s.

It seems fitting that his collection, which spotlights

the fashion genius of music legends,

 should shine on those who

strutted their stuff in the ’80s
