Life and Times of David Robert Jones
2020
This original Hoard Couture jacket is done in tribute to the superstar that was David Bowie. The world knows him for his music and chameleon-esque persona. But he was also a man, in many ways a real person just like everybody else. David Jones went to school, he found love, he suffered failures and developed bad habits. David Jones raised children, overcame hardships, and shared his natural gifts with others…..and then he died, as we all will someday.
The elements of this suit jacket represent different eras and styles of the performer David Bowie from the iconic Ziggy Stardust to his last album, Black Star. The individual name badges located around the hem of the slim coat pay tribute to the life of David Robert Jones, the person. On the reverse side of each image, in chronological order, are small bits of information to enlighten us and help us to understand who this man was behind the spotlight. Feel free to unclip a tag and read the notes behind the music. Please return it to the same location if possible.
The styling of the garment itself utilizes the fashion elements David Bowie wore during different eras of his career. You will find images on the tags that reappear as parts of this jacket.
