Leigh Bowery






If you're familiar with Lady Gaga, then you've seen her outrageous outfits! I've always questioned her image and whether or not it's manufactured by her contract or herself. Then after class, I realized that there have been many major influences on her and many others in the music industry.

Leigh Bowery is one of those influences. He was a performance artist, club promotor, actor, pop star, model and fashion designer. He is very well known for his unique and crazy costume designs and makeup! I can definitely see where Gaga is coming from now!  He has also impacted many others such as Boy George and the Scissor Sisters. Aside from fashion he also promoted a night club called Taboo in London and also contributed to many art and fashion shows. Leigh Bowery was a live sculpture.
