STYLE SCOUT: Inspired by David Bowie – sartorial superstar

Bowie-Angie-Zowie

I’ve been sitting at my desk this morning with Bowie blasting out of the speakers. While listening I was distractedly browsing through our Pinterest boards and I was inspired to create a visual tribute to David Bowie – master chameleon, image maker and timeless fashion icon.

I had a little bit of fun pairing some of the many incarnations of Bowie the sartorial superstar with similarly styled interiors.

Bowie will be remembered not only for his incredible musical legacy, but equally for pushing the boundaries of fashion and gender. In his inimitable style he seamlessly merged pop music and fashion in a way that may never be matched. Vale David Bowie, a true cultural icon.
