This book contains approximately 150 beautiful, rare colour photographs that capture the imagination. David Bowie was a photographer's muse. In this title you will recall how Bowie had unconventionally good looks, was model slim and showed a willingness to expand the boundaries of fashion over uncharted territories. Bowie's visual history contains clues unlocking the mindset of several generations of music fan. The great man never stepped far from the world of haute couture, and for every skintight all-in-one there was a bespoke Saville row suit lurking in his wardrobe. All the photographs are complemented by insightful text from one of the UK's best contemporary journalists.
