The Labyrnith from the Point of David Bowie

David Bowie, the genius behind tons of hits, is also the designer backing a new clothing line at Target. Despite his great career success, Mr. Bowie has been known throughout said career for a few distinct features.

His orientation, and more notably his outfits.

His orientation is up for grabs, but his outfits are incredibly depicted in Jim Henson's movie, The Labyrinth. If they could be described in a couple of words. I would choose Glamorous, Horse, and Trainer. He had his notable hair and makeup and skin tight black spandex jeans. He wore a jacket comparable to that of a matador, and on his feet were hooker boots.

His outfit related to his character in a number of ways. He was the Goblin King, and needed to look as such. Not much you can do to his face, since David Bowie did his own makeup, so they went ahead and let him dress himself. It turned out pretty well, and Bowie played a convincing King of little goblins. His outfit spoke to the relationship that played out between the girl and him. The outfit allowed for quite a bit of skin viewing, so it said sexy.

Overall, David Bowie is a visual freak, and his outfit in The Labyrinth is a perfect example.
