Bowery was one of the greatest designers; this is his work,
By A Customer
This review is from: Leigh Bowery (Hardcover)
After the disappointing bio by Sue Tilley, Leigh Bowery can finally wink at us down here at earth. This book gives a great view on his work, throughout the eighties and nineties. Leigh was a chameleon in ideas and appearances. Allthough some of his looks were almost frightening, looking trhough the pages of this book one cannot escape from his originality and creativity. Leigh lived too short to get acknowledged for his ideas. Instead designers like Westwood, Gaultier and van Beirendonck use his ideas. But as Leigh claimed during his life: "Even my ideas filter through. The publics idea of beauty is fed to them." He fed them with something else. Thanx for that.

Brilliant,
By A Customer
This review is from: Leigh Bowery (Hardcover)
Beautiful job from start to finish. Highlights include the collages of stills from the films of Charles Atlas, the interview with Nicola Bateman, and Leigh's tres sexy postcards. Comprehensive, revealing the many layers of his greatness, and ever-reminding us of our miserable loss.
5.0 out of 5 stars

Nothing short of amazing! I am straight and conservative and love this book. What an outstanding eye, and inventive mind this man had. I am sad that he is gone. This is a loss. I will keep this book forever.

Leigh is a genious on several arts. Clothes Designer, make-up artist, hostes, actor, performer, a MIND on the London Scene. This book is a perfect image memorablia, but not enough. Sorry my ridiculous english If someone loves Leigh Bowery too, please drop me a line. Danilo
