The Sunday Times magazine features an interview with 39 year old GQ editor, Dylan Jones this week. He talks about how his image has changed over the years, and discusses his teenage obsession with David.
“I remember trying to get involved with fashion at the time of glam rock, when I was just coming into my teens. I was obsessed with David Bowie and I desperately wanted a Bowie haircut but I couldn’t have one; I haven’t got full-bodied hair, so the hairdresser compromised and I ended up looking like Dave Hill of Slade for about six weeks. And I remember experimenting with fluorescent socks and platform boots. If the fashion police had been around in those days, I’m sure I would have been in solitary confinement.”
