Inspiring, mesmerising, engimatic, hypnotic… I could go on.
Here are a few impressions from the exhibition David Bowie Is at the Victoria & Albert Museum.
David Bailey’s Box of Pin-Ups (1964)


How David Bowie came up with some of his lyrics using the Verbasizer software
The one Bowie song I knew instantly
Bowie’s mug shot from his arrest in 1976 for cocaine posession

When he was a child, Bowie was punched in the eye at school. Ever since then one of his pupils remains dilated, a fact that once discovered you cannot stop seeing in every photograph or video you come across.

The famous Bowie stripe from the cover of the Alladin Sane album.

The amazing costumes and the display




And some great Bowie photographs




Come, Been and Gone, 2009, performed by the Michael Clark Company to Bowie hits.
And one of my own favorites to add to the mix – Mick Jagger and Bowie with Dancing in the Street from 1985. Love it!
