For those who never heard about him yet, Leigh Bowery (1961 - 1994) was an Australian performance artist, actor, pop star and fashion designers, based in London.
He is considered one of the most influential figures in the 1980s and 1990s for his extravagant and extreme way of dressing up.
His ambiguity and avant guarde ideas reached through the fashion inspiring designers such as Alexander McQueen, Vivienne Westwood, John Galliano and singers like Boy George and the Scissor Sisters. just to mention a few names. 

Per quelli che ancora non lo conoscono, Leigh Bowery (1961 - 1994) era un artista, attore, pop star e stilista di origini australiane, trasferitosi poi a Londra.
E' considerato
una delle figure più influenti degli anni 80 e 90 per i suoi travestimenti stravaganti ed esageratti. 
La sua ambiguità e le sue idee d' avanguardia hanno raggiunto la moda, ispirando stilisti del calibro di Alexander McQueen, Vivienne Westwood, John Galliano e cantanti come Boy George e Scissor Sisters. giusto per nominarme qualcuno.
