(Three pics after the first image are not Leigh Bowery but inspired by him... the rest are him)
The movie at OHWOW last night was "The Legend of Leigh Bowery" an incredibly inspired persona of the 80s. He created these lavish costumes that were completely out of this world and didnt make any sense to shock people. He was a performance artist/costume designer in London who only liked to design for himself and his performance art acts. I think he is a true inspiration! He saw the bore in people and through this frustration was where he decided to take things to another level of spontanaety! His creations are marvelously wacky and extreme and I want to pay tribute to him! He also posed nude for Lucien Freud. Thank you Leigh! I love you!
From the images selected I have included a few that are inspirations from him and not the real Leigh Bowery himself...
