Leigh Bowery is outrageous, thought-provoking, and in his own way, beautiful. The 2002 documentary The Legend of Leigh Bowery is a must for your Netflix.
Bowery, a Melbourne native, became famous for his over-the-top outfits and unusual design concepts. Each design was made to captivate its audience and cause a scene. A majority of his designs were created for himself. He was the project; he was the art.
