We at Models.com were deeply saddened at the passing of David Bowie, the legendary rock star whose creative impact has been felt not just in music but in fashion, film and culture at large. We mourn the passing of an artist unlike any other, with a seemingly endless capacity of reinvention, whose many iconic and oft-imitated incarnations are part of the visual, musical and cultural landscape of the last five decades. From the breakthrough Space Oddity, to his androgynous glam rock personae of the Ziggy Stardust period, to the Thin White Duke, to his cross over successes including Fame, Young Americans and Let’s Dance, but also crossing into seminal movie roles from The Man Who Fell To Earth, The Hunger, Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence, and many memorable guest appearances, Bowie’s influence on music, pop culture and art is wide ranging and was influential in bringing unconventional ideas, including androgyny and bisexuality, into the mainstream.
In 1992, the modern man would go on to marry supermodel Iman Abdulmajid, who two days ago tweeted the quote, “Sometimes you will never know the true value of a moment before it becomes a memory.” Beyond any doubt, David Bowie as a pop figure will live on among the immortal variety, and as a person, he will live on etched in the hearts of those who were fortunate to experience him in this lifetime.
RIP Mr. Bowie, you will be missed.
