David Bowie "expressed his emotions, fantasies and dreams through music and visual art," says designer Diane von Furstenberg, who along with Patricia Field, Jeremy Scott, André Leon Talley, Pete Wentz and Kansai Yamamoto reflect on the star's pioneering and ever-shifting sartorial odyssey.
"In some ways he seemed like an alien from the very beginning," says Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz of Bowie, who moved away from London's mod scene after releasing his first solo album. Adds designer Diane von Furstenberg, "Looking at all the metamorphoses he went through, I am most moved by the very early young David."
