David Bowie: Do You See His Influence?

January 30, 2011  11:58 pm

It’s been a golden year for David Bowie references on the runways. Dries Van Noten and Lanvin’s Lucas Ossendrijver channeled DB’s Thin White Duke persona at the Fall 2011 men’s shows, as did Richard Nicoll at his Spring women’s presentation back in September. And the pop star’s 1983 flick, Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence, proved inspirational to Roland Mouret’s latest Mr. collection. But a stroll through the Style.com archives indicates that it was always thus, and it’s not just his satin jumpsuits, sharp-shouldered jackets, and jaunty hats that have influenced men’s and women’s fashion. If you look closely, you’ll notice he was rocking the no-eyebrow look way back in 1973.


Click for a slideshow and let us know if you see the connections between runway and real life (if we can apply such a mundane term to rock’s greatest chameleon). And while we’re at it, did we miss any of your favorite Bowie fashion moments?

  1. Hi …
    For the 2 firsts it’s amazing ….for the others no, his looks are strongers than the “interpretations”
    But it’s an nice spot.
    thanks

  3. Now that you mention it,, it does seem like ziggy stardust was on everyone’s mind, while designing. :D

  4. ummm….i see the first one- it’s practically an exact replica. the other ones are huge stretches. they’re styles that are probably influenced by the exact same things he was influenced by. http://dressmeup-dressmedown.blogspot.com/

  7. I can understand all of them (the first where the strongest in my opinion) but the ziggy stardust outfit and the prada one just do not look like they are related to me.

  8. That Roland Mouret look could just as easily be attributed to Kim Jong-il.

  11. I agree, the first 2 I can see it, the others are definately stretches.

  12. David Bowie will forever be a style (and musical) inspiration. He rocked those looks like a sexy starman! <3
