David Bowie’s Greatest Fashion Hits

In the early hours of Monday, January 11, the world lost a rock legend: David Bowie. He passed away following a battle with cancer at 69 and, according to his family, he was surrounded by loved ones and went peacefully.

His loss in the music world will certainly be felt deeply, with the decades of hits the legendary singer recorded. But Bowie was a true artist in the fact that he wasn’t just his voice. He was a performer and expressed himself through dancing, acting, and fashion as well.

A true sartorial icon — an undeniable fact considering there was a retrospective entitled “David Bowie Is” at the V&A Museum in London in 2013 featuring original costumes, music videos, set designs, and more — his chameleonic style was all his own. Bowie’s signature markers shifted throughout his decades-long career, varying from ‘80s-era suits and space-age getups to classic leather jackets and eye patches.

Here, we look back on some of his fashion hits to ever rock the fashion world.
