The immense loss of the legend David Bowie has brought a great amount of attention to his career. Not only is he known as a musical mastermind, but also a fashion icon. Bowie was never afraid to take his looks and music to places others have never been before. It takes a creative and confident person to indulge in what society is not used to. 

Here is a few of Bowie’s beloved personas:

1. Ziggy Stardust: Everyones favorite androgynous glittery alien rockstar. When Bowie’s fifth album, “The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars”, was released in 1972, Ziggy was birthed. He was a bright haired, crazy make up wearing character that gave hope and courage to the young people of Earth. Not only was the album a masterpiece, but he began to change attitudes on sexuality. 
2. Thin White Duke: After the reign of Ziggy Stardust, Bowie changed that look to a more conservative character. He slicked back his hair, wore a white button up and a black waistcoat. It was said that he was on a diet of red and green peppers, milk, and cocaine. It was a darker character of Bowie’s filled with very erratic behavior. 
3. Aladdin Sane: Spaced out the name is read “A Lad Insane”, one of the most iconic characters and inspiration for many costumes was the red and blue lighting bolt across his face. The look and album was post Ziggy Stardust and was the first release of him as an authentic rock star. 
4. Goblin King Jareth: Although Bowie has been casted in other films, the epic “Labyrith” is his best known. Originally the character was supposed to be villainous, but after Bowie was chosen to be the antagonist instead. The film also includes songs sang by him such as “Magic Dance”. The character had crazy blonde hair and dressed with a white blouse with a  black vest and high waited pants.                                                                  Whichever persona you adore, it is hard to choose a favorite. The beloved David Bowie will remain timeless, “I don’t know where I’m going from here, but I promise it won’t be boring.” a famous quote said by David Bowie on his 50th birthday in Madison Square Garden.
