“Is it any wonder, You’re far too cool”
David Bowie graces the cover of the December 2015/January 2016 issue of Esquire magazine. Or he’s one of five variations of the cover at least.
The publication celebrates five “Style Heroes”, each with their own cover and a double-page spread inside, with texts by five different writers.
The subjects are as follows:
David Bowie by Peter Doggett
Kurt Cobain by Jon Savage
Mick Jagger by Mark Ellen
Bryan Ferry by Simon Mills
John Lydon by Andrew Harrison
We’ll leave you with the concluding paragraph of Peter Doggett’s Bowie piece...
“He still faces the lens with the utter assurance of a man who knows his own mind; whose slightly ironic gaze seems to offer incalculable secrets, dangled tantalisingly out of reach. His cool no longer exists only in the eye of his beholder: it’s become who he is, the token of his flawless wizard’s spell.”
Esquire is available now.
