Step into the provocative, scandalous, and boundary-breaking wardrobe of legendary Leigh Bowery with this paper doll book.

Described by Boy George as "art with legs" and painted multiple times by Lucian Freud, Bowery fused performance art, club culture, and fashion design to create some of the most iconic looks and moments of the 1980s and 90s. His influence is incalculable and can be recognized in the work of major artists and designers such as Lady Gaga, Alexander McQueen, Jeffrey Gibson, Anohni, Rick Owens, Gareth Pugh, and Maison Margiela, as well as being celebrated on shows like RuPaul's Drag Race for his bold and unyielding self-expression.

This paper doll book includes a die-cut figure and ten of Leigh's most spectacular outfits, from his green tartan "Aunt Jemima" suit with helmet to the shiny PVC "Black Fetish" ensemble.

Beautifully illustrated by Daniel Clarke and accompanied by texts from his widow and artistic partner, Nicola Rainbird, who offers a personal perspective on each look, this book is an officially authorized publication by the Leigh Bowery estate, celebrating the wild, maximalist, and unforgettable contributions of the artist to the world of fashion and beyond.
