DAVID LIVE
"I forget about him sometimes. I was in a record store in New York recently and passed a David Live album cover, and it brought back so many things that I love about style and attitude and hair.
That period was really important to me - from about ’74 to ’78 - when he morphed from Young Americans and became really stylised as the Thin White Duke. Even now, when I look at that album cover, I’m still kind of startled by the way he looks and how the style or the sort of "essence" of it hasn’t softened in time. I love the body language, the posturing of his mouth, the androgyny, the no-eyebrows - everything about it is so affected. It’s everything I love about fashion and it’s got the kind of emotion that I now try to put into hair. His hair was brilliant: bleached orange, greased back, perfection. It was so impactful. If I saw someone with hair like that walking down the street today I’d still think it was amazing.
I rememeber having a copy of thet David Live suit made. Of course I didn’t look anything like that, but I loved it anyway. Since then I don’t think anyone’s really capped Bowie’s style. There have been other people who have been more outrageous, but no one has done it with such panache. When I saw that album cover I was impressed all over again."

("Idol people that leave us inspired and teach us that real style never expires")
PD I: Guido es peluquero. En la actualidad es considerado uno de los más inventivos y mejores estilistas del mundo, y aquí nos explica su eterna fascinación por David Bowie.
PD II: David Bowie es David Bowie. Es decir, único.

Mick Rock on David Bowie, 1973
Mario, mi favorita es la época de Aladdin Sane, allá por 1973. ¡¡Vaya actitud, vaya glam!!
Y estoy de acuerdo contigo en que lamentablemente el tiempo pasa para todos.

Nadie hoy tiene esa sutileza y, al tiempo, atrevimiento. Ni siquiera ya él mismo, por desgracia.

Únicamente por esos datos (y algún otro más) me permití decir aquello de que es considerado uno de los más inventivos y mejores estilistas. La verdad que el tío es muy, muy bueno.
No dudo que seas una de las personas más especiales del mundo, aunque ahora mismo no caigo.
