Publisher's Synopsis

Dress like a style icon with inspiration and practical advice from the many looks and bold wardrobes of David Bowie

Style Codes: David Bowie is more than a fashion guide-it's a manifesto for those who dare to be a bit more Bowie.

Each chapter is a blueprint for Bowie's superstar innovation. Whether it's experimenting with bold color palettes or playing with proportions, Bowie's fearless spirit guides readers to break free of fashion norms. Ultimately, Bowie imparts a timeless lesson: true style transcends trends-it's about embracing contradictions, defying expectations, and, above all, being unapologetically oneself. 

With a wide array of colorful interviews and intimate anecdotes, this look into David Bowie's fashion legacy reveals the man behind the ever-changing personas. Through vibrant tips and tricks, anyone can achieve Bowie's unconventional approach to personal style.

David Bowie, the iconic musician and cultural phenomenon, wielded fashion as a tool of self-expression rather than a pursuit of trendiness. From the otherworldly Ziggy Stardust to the enigmatic Thin White Duke, Bowie's capes, dresses, and one-legged bodysuits were deliberate acts of transformation and rejection of conformity.

​This accessible new series of fashion guides empowers you to dress like a style icon.
