Ziggy Stardust Or The Thin White Duke? David Bowie’s Ever-Changing Style

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Lancaster chapter.

Zeitgeist of the past century, dictating the fashion and musical industries, the icon of multiple alter egos has passed away, leaving us with his ultimate album, enveloping and representing his life through a piece of art. Here’s a gallery to remember how David Bowie’s imaginative and eccentric style influenced, and still does influence, the fashion industry.
