Bowie's Hero's jacket...

I beg to differ!

I think this righteous babe would look good with low rise or high rise jeans, even look good wearing a burlap sack.

@Sloan1874 - normally you and I are on the same page, but I gotta tell ya brother, the high-waist thing is back here and from what I've seen, I now remember why I had to carry books on the school bus. On the right figure (as with anything) they are fantastic and a nice welcome change (back) IMO. Seriously, I'm a fan

 

[Cocker]

But there's a big difference between 'high waste' and a 'high waist', no?

Ha... See, this is what happens when English is not your mother tongue, you miss those kinds of word plays!

It's a pedant spelling thing: I love a high-waisted jean on a girl, it can be v flattering. High-waste jeans has other connotations...

Remember?

I think a number of us, myself included, thought Seb's earlier post #14 was a typo and assumed he meant "high waisted". I've never heard the term "high-waist" until now. Live and learn.

 

[Sloan1874]

Yes, I thought that it was too, but I couldn't resist the other meaning...

This video on the other thread bears repeating. Thanks Craig for originally bringing it to our attention! As I recall this song was the main one in the movie "Perks of Being a Wallflower"

Oops typo - I meant waist. Although I do think high waist jeans are a waste of material.

They played that song ad naeseum at the store I used to work at. A good song though. The "Stardust" he drew inspiration from (NASA used it to wake up their astronauts in space by way of "Paralyzed": you'll hear why!)

It was indeed. Cute little film. Captured something of what it was like to be that age in the last few years before the web.

For me, nobody wore better high-waist jeans than Shania Twain:

They can work. They remind me of the 80s and early 90s. Good days.

 

[Trenchfriend]

Thanks. Got something refreshing.

But, were the early 90's a 70's-fashion-revival? Jeans-jackets and so on?

Watching that video of Shania's again - who cares?

Looks good.
Sounds good.
IS good!

I have a small collection of Bowie's Heroes shots, very very nice house deco art pieces! I ordered prints on Photobuckets and hang them "on the wall" where I kiss my girlfriend goodbye in the mornings.

I just contacted Ken to ask for a repro!!! It deserves a shiny RIRI zipper!!

My memory of the mid 70s is that the jacket Bowie is wearing in these pics was being worn by everyone at the time. A kind of Bay City Roller look. All my mates had these big collared short black leather jackets with wool knits etc. which you wore with high waist bags and stack heels.

Actual, you can buy this kind of flight/motorcycle-jacket all-around, in europe. There are the leather-ones and for the masses, there are the same-looking jackets made of viscose, much cheaper and imitating the leather-look. The ones made from viscose cost around 80 Euro.
