Talking fashion, style and Bowie at the V&A today

I’m making a presentation on Bowie’s visual style and in particular his relationship with clothing designers as part of the V&A’s Sound & Vision event today.

Among those I’m referencing will be the theatrical costume designer Peter J. Hall, who was commissioned to create the stagewear for the 1983 Serious Moonlight tour. I wrote about their fruitful working relationship here.

I’ll also mention the very talented Ola Hudson, who contributed so much to Bowie’s look in the mid-70s LA years, including clothing he wore in The Man Who Fell To Earth and during the Station To Station tour.

Bowie is wearing Hudson designs in this performance of Stay on the Dinah Shore Show in 1976.
