Bowie Style

Info

Lucky numbers. Ziggy plays guitar in Newcastle, January 1973. “Most people are scared of colour. Their lives are built up in shades of grey. It doesn’t matter how straight the style is, make it brightly coloured material and everyone starts acting weird.”
“I wanted to take the hardness and violence of those Clockwork Orange outfits - the trousers tucked into big boots and the codpiece things - and soften them up by using the most ridiculous fabrics. It was a Dada thing - this extreme ultraviolence in Liberty fabrics.”
