When heroes become pensioners, you know you're middle-aged. From the Dries Van Noten autumn/winter 2011 menswear collection to Kate Moss on the cover of French Vogue, David Bowie is as influential today as he was 40-years-ago. You'll not see him dragging his ageing carcass around the globe on some greatest hits tour. No, he's keeping quiet - and dignified - though BBC economics journalist Evan Davis seems to think Bowie selling bonds on his future back-catalogue may have started the credit crunch. I'll say no more. Here are some photos.

Love it, I read on Facebook that the V&A are doing a retrospective of his outfits later this year but can't find out any more :(
So very cool.
Ah Bowie - hero of mine too - liked the credit crunch theory!

Ah, the Thin White Duke - the definition of cool. Great pictures!
A true legend
If nothing else, DB has always been very creative.......in many spheres!
Warm regards
The Man Who Fell to Earth is one of my all-time favorite movies. I think I've seen it a dozen times, time to pop it in the netflix queue again.
Now there's a guy who's got style in older years!
Grey Fox - a man searching for style in middle age.

Disney - too exciting! And time the V&A embraced timeless style, can't say I was that interested in Annie Lennox's old clobber.
Ultra cool.
My most favorite ever. Love DB!
Love him and was singing along to Starman on TOTP2 on Saturday night and have Life on Mars on my list to be played at my funeral. I hope Dave makes good use of his free bus pass.
I Love him. Is it just me or has Iman not aged at all? Xxxx
