In this week’s episode of Style Sphere, special guest Zoë Frantz, blog writer for The Circle of Fashion and a certified mega Bowie fan, is here to take Minty and Louise on a journey through the many looks of David Bowie.

From the spaceman suits of Major Tom to the glittery glam of Ziggy Stardust, Zoë walks us through her favourite eras and why Bowie’s fashion still resonates so powerfully today.

We also explore Bowie’s collaborations with designers and speculate on what his style might’ve looked like in the age of digital fashion

To conclude our short series on fashion and education, Amanda, Minty, and Louise shift the focus to the present and future. Amanda shares her insights on fashion’s evolving role in academia—how clothing influences students, the romanticization of elite institutions and their traditions, and the place of fashion in academic research. Tune in and enjoy! This episode comes with our first-ever ⁠Substack⁠. You'll find in it all of the history, pictures, links and references discussed!
