Leigh Bowery Pakis From Outer Space





This is one of Leigh Bower's fashion collection, at Camden Palace, London Fashion Week 1982/83. He called his collection "Pakis from outer space" to heighten their enjoyment of it all.
Leigh was searching for originality and extreme, the vivid colours and ornament of Asian fashion inspired them. He wanted to combine it with seventies Glam Rock clothes, it was a perfect clash. Leigh designed the clothes and Trojan added motifs and makeup ideas. It stayed off his paintings onto Leigh face, giant spots and Sanskrit scrawls.
