According to the press release, “several of the collection’s key pieces draw direct inspiration from characters and songs by David Bowie. The tuxedo, vest, and pants were inspired by David’s Thin White Duke persona, the song ‘Station to Station’, and his most recent album Reality. The dress shirts and trench coat are references to David’s first movie role as Thomas Jerome Newton in The Man Who Fell to Earth. In addition, the gray button-down shirt features Bowie’s ‘Let’s Dance’ lyrics scripted onto the fabric.”
