Leigh Bowery

Bowery was a famous performance artist, actor, fashion designer amongst other thing in London. He was thought to have been one of the most influential in the 1980's-1990's in the art/fashion circle with all his avant grade ideas, influencing fashion designers and performers even today.
He had a post modern take on drag and was the main inspiration for the traminal drag movement.
His outrageous costumes and shoots have a real club kid feel.


I really love this image of him, i like the way the eyes have a high green eye shadow. I also like the that they look like they are lined with eye liner. I want to now come up with some face charts inspired from this, but with a more modern contemporary feel.
