Just after David Bowie died, The Guardian asked me to write a piece celebrating his style. As always with obituary pieces, it had to be written quickly, in a couple of hours, but I’d already done some interviews with designers who had worked with him, at the time of the V&A Museum’s big Bowie retrospective.
Later, a publisher asked if they could reprint it as a preface to a Bowie colouring book, which has to be one of the strangest – and most entertaining – reuse of something I’ve written.
What do you think?
