What kind of clothes do popstars wear when they’re offstage?

April 1, 1974

What kind of clothes do popstars wear when they’re offstage? Do their everyday ensembles differ radically from what they put on their backs in concert? And do their friends and loved ones dress in the same styles that they do? Well... I strongly doubt that Mick. Jagger would evejr walk into a chic London restaurant dressed in a studded velour jumpsuit, dungaree jacket, long scarf and white ballet slippers, no sir. Instead, he looks like a picture, outfitted by Yves St. Laurent.. | high style baggy trousers, little v-neck sweaters, and short jackets. Perhaps it’s been his wife’s influence for she’s always selfconsciously dressed to her prominent teeth in something especially whipped up for her sullen, international good looks by Ossie Clark, or Tommy Nutter,and let’s not forget those dead birds, on veiled hats and Walking sticks that were supposed to start a high fashion trend a year or so ago.. „

On the street, David Bowie probably comes the closest to his stage drag of the Rockstars Who Dress (except maybe the Dolls). And there.’s no denying that he arid Angela made fashiorr mdvie magic'this past year. ;Itr began with David, but it wasmt long before Angie — with or without that, silly Jipp Jones alias — got into the act as well. Like Bianca, Ms. Bo.wie has never been content to merely lurk in the shadows of hubby’s i success, |and unlike other rock wives, she wasn’t about to pick up a tambourine or a piano and get into the band.
