David Bowie in Freddie Burretti suit, Los Angeles, 1974
Photographer: Terry O’Neill
Iconic portrait of David Bowie, captured in Los Angeles in 1974. Bowie is wearing a mustard-yellow suit designed by Freddie Burretti and is in a crucial transitional phase of his career: from the extravagant Ziggy Stardust persona to the more streamlined, mature style of his Diamond Dogs period.
The fiery red hair color, the sharp silhouette of the suit, and O’Neill’s clear, direct photographic style make this image a timeless document of Bowie’s artistic transformation. The photo was included as one of the key images in the internationally acclaimed exhibition *Bowie Is*, underscoring its museum status.
A classic of rock and fashion history, beloved by collectors of music photography and 20th-century icons. Details
