Leigh Bowery Looks

By Fergus Greer, Mariuccia Casadio, Mariuccia Cassadio

Book Overview

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.
