Red Tie Dye David Bowie Shirt

David Bowie’s 1973 Aladdin Sane was his first follow-up to his breakout hit album The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars. Described by Bowie as “Ziggy goes to America,” Aladdin Sane was mainly developed on Bowie’s Ziggy Stardust Tour of America and features his reactions – a mixture of wonder and horror – to a totally foreign country. 

The iconic lightning-bolt of Aladdin Sane’s face represented Bowie’s split view of his newfound fame: he loved the light of the stage, but loathed the travel and trouble in-between shows. While the lightning bolt was all Bowie, he gave credit for the less-noticed teardrop of strange quicksilver on Sane’s shoulder to his friend and photographer Brian Duffy.
