Stardust is inspired by a time, a place (mainly New York and London) and a culture personified by David Bowie and the New York Dolls. David Bowie and The New York Dolls experimented with gender which was represented in a more fluid manner, wearing non-mainstream "punk" fashions and of course, made great, inspiring music. The music and the manner in which they represented themselves were wildly creative, glamorous and spontaneous. The artists that I selected for Stardust have an element in their work of the exhilaration and the riotously creative energy of this music and the time.
