Exploring the enduring legacy of David Bowie's style

London’s Victoria & Albert museum which hosted the globally acclaimed “David Bowie Is” exhibit in 2013 announced in February that it has acquired more than 80,000 archive items spanning Bowie’s career that will be made open to the public in a custom-built David Bowie Centre for the Study of Performing Arts in 2025. As New York City prepared to host June’s sold-out David Bowie World Fan Convention 2023, FashionUnited attempted to answer the question of why David Bowie’s style still proves so fascinating, fifty years after Bowie’s alter ego Ziggy Stardust first took to the stage, and seven years after the singer’s untimely death.
