David Bowie, the gender-bending, glam-rock star, died of cancer in New York on Sunday at the age of 69, days after his final record was released. His far-reaching, dramatic, flamboyant style was an inspiration for designers, musicians, artists and creatives for decades, and was the subject of an enthralling exhibition at the V&A in 2013.
Tony Visconti, the producer who worked with Bowie on “Lazarus”, said his final record was a carefully orchestrated farewell to his fans.
Here we pay tribute to the man who inspired everyone from Gaultier to Dries Van Noten with a selection of his most iconic looks.
