Leigh Bowery turned his life, and daily existance , into a work of art.

His unique presentation, vision and expression in the worlds of fashion, makeup, music, and art inflenced countless fellow artists across the globe.

A look at the Boy george musical : Taboo , based upon the legendary 80's clubnight as well as the newest Boy George incarnation with "drip-head-make-up" : "the Twin" shows just how infleuential Bowery was on this Boy...

Did "PARTY MONSTER" Micheal Aligs' blue polka-dots look familiar? hmmmm.

The New York Club kids clearly stole Bowery's style.
Heatherette owes their success to him!

I love Leigh Bowery...I have the documentary and the book. His style was so awesome. The reason it wasn't more popular is because he refused to sell any of his stuff..........

That's a big misconception. Although he hated the idea of someone boring wearing his designs, he did several collections in his brief lifetime.

The New York socialite Susanne Bartsch sold Leigh Bowery's Pakis from Space and Mincing Queens collections in her boutique, alongside early Gaultier and Westwood's first solo collections. Bowery also sold designs at Rachel Auburn's Spend Spend Spend.
