He who stole the world

Armani and Gucci are among brands to pay tribute to David Bowie-celebrated as an icon in the music, art and fashion worlds alike.

Milan designers on Monday looked both to the future and the past to create contemporary looks for men next winter and fall, as the fashion world continued its heartfelt tributes to David Bowie, celebrated as an icon in the music, art and fashion worlds alike. The remembrances were touching in their understated persistence.

Giorgio Armani opened his Emporio Armani show with notes from the singer's Space Oddity, while Gucci creative director Andrea Michele created a jacket with "Bowie" printed boldly on the back that he said he intends to include in a film for the fall/winter 2016/2017 collection.
