Captured during a high-fashion photo session in Paris, the 1973 image on this print features the thin white duke alongside supermodel Twiggy.

About David Bowie

David Bowie (1947–2016) constantly reinvented his music and image, from Ziggy Stardust to the Thin White Duke. Bowie’s striking stage looks made him one of the most photographed musicians of all time. Glam rock of the early 1970s brought glitter, platform boots and theatrical style to music. In the 1970s, rock moved into arenas and its posters became bigger, bolder and more graphic. The original dates from 1973.
