The work of one of Britain's most heroically ambitious yet
underappreciated designers and performance artists
Leigh Bowery is back. In just a few years, Leigh Bowery Looks rose to
the status of being the definitive and indispensible guide to the
unique looks designed and, in these photographs, worn by Bowery. This
paperback edition shows one of Britain's most heroically ambitious yet
underappreciated designers and performance artists. Bowery remains an
inspiration to many contemporary fashion designers, though few are
willing to admit it. Leigh Bowery Looks contains 300 photographs of
Bowery--an extraordinary body of work that was the outcome of his
collaboration with British photographer Fergus Greer between 1988 and
1994, the year of Bowery's death. Here the range of Bowery's many looks
is most evident, as are the ways in which he has influenced the world of
fashion today.
