Comment on David Bowie, where is he now? Everywhere! by Dominic Lutyens & Kirsty Hislop

Hi Jan, Thanks for getting in touch.
Yes, it sounds brilliant – Kirsty (my co-writer of the 70s book) and I are going up to see it soon. Yes, you’re right re the Bowie/ Glam! overlap. I’m guessing that this was a coincidence (though perhaps the museums each knew that the other was planning this type of show), but glam and glam rock is definitely in the air. Tom Ford’s autumn/ winter 2013 collection had very pop/ glam elements reminiscent of the early 70s label Mr Freedom (of which Marc Bolan was a big fan). Here’s a link to the collection in case you’re interested.

We plan to blog about this too.
Best, Dominic

Hi Suzy, Thanks for your comment. Yes, LK was indeed a huge influence as you say – and on David Bowie whom he taught, of course. We have two pics of Kemp in our 70s book, one of which appears on the same page as Bowie. Dominic

Lindsay Kemp and his troupe’s ground-breaking ‘FLOWERS’ was a HUGE influence on the Glam scene…….
