British Designer Antony Price, Famed for Styling Bowie and Duran Duran, Passes Away at Age 80.
The British designer Antony Price, the visionary British fashion designer behind many legendary styles associated with artists from David Bowie to Roxy Music and even royalty like Queen Camilla, has died aged 80.
He was celebrated for his architectural shapes and dramatic aesthetics, including the light-hued ensembles that became famous from the pop-rock group Duran Duran's classic music video for "the song Rio".
"They honored him as a 'visionary' and a 'kind, intelligent and razor-witted friend,' the group posted a remembrance on social media."
His passing follows less than a month after he presented his newest line in London, his first in more than 30 years. The performer Lily Allen walked in a dress inspired by the famous black velvet "revenge dress" once worn by the late Princess Diana.
A Pioneering Career
A native of Yorkshire, born in 1945, Price headed for London at the start of the 1960s to attend the esteemed Royal College of Art.
A year after graduating, he began designing clothing for men at the label Stirling Copper and was responsible for the form-fitting, button-fly pants that Sir Mick Jagger wore during the iconic group's "Gimme Shelter" tour in 1969.
He founded his own label in 1979 and staged his first fashion show a year later. The show featured as its opener outfits on supermodel Jerry Hall, who later wore the bridal gown Price created for her for her marriage to Sir Mick Jagger.
Collaborations with Icons
A key creative partner of David Bowie, Price designed the memorable jacket the star wore for his "As The World Falls Down" music video in 1986.
His signature ability to merge menswear and womenswear along with his expert craftsmanship in designing body-hugging looks established him as a "genuine original," in the words of the UK's fashion authority.
By the 1990s, he commenced designing ensembles for Camilla, now Queen Consort, such as various looks for her US tour after becoming Duchess.
After a career spanning half a century, Price held his ultimate fashion presentation in London last month in conjunction with the label 16Arlington.
- Defined Shapes: The core of his aesthetic.
- Theatrical Flair: Influencing music videos and stagewear.
- Gender-Fluid Fashion: Creating a unique, androgynous style.
- A Client List from Rock to Royalty: From David Bowie and Mick Jagger to Queen Camilla.
The industry says farewell to a genuine innovator whose legacy on style and culture remains deeply ingrained.
