David Bowie is...

Victoria and Albert Museum, in London, just opened its latest exhibition. "David Bowie is", like the name says, is a tribute to the British singer. Photographs and costumes worn by the performer are displayed, in order to show us how he came across the title of "Rock'n Roll Chameleon".


The expo explores the way David Jones reinvented himself as David Bowie and challenged the social behaviour of his time with his androgynous image. After him, it became acceptable, and even cool, to look sexually ambiguous. 


Ziggy Stardust, his most emblematic persona, is still a source of inspiration for artists of all genres. Where did you think Lagy Gaga got the whole "thunderbolt in the face" idea?


During the Thin White Duke phase, Bowie showed us his more mature and elegant side. 


Young Bowie, adult Bowie. Always breaking the rules. 


How could I end this post without talking about Bowie's mismatched eyes? Because you know, if someone has two different colours in their eyes, they're way ahead of you in the cool department.
