David Bowie Is

Jay and I traveled to London in the summer of 2013 to see this one — the Victoria & Albert Museum’s landmark exhibition, the first major retrospective of David Bowie’s career.

I still remember standing there in utter awe, from the Ziggy costumes to the small hand-painted slides he made himself. He was an all-encompassing artist — music, fashion, film, design, all one continuous act of invention. We weren’t allowed to take photos inside the exhibit, so what I have from that day is limited — but it’s enough to remember exactly how it felt.
