Marc Bolan

Marc Bolan in sequined jacket by Biba, designed by Barbara Hulanicki - circa early 1970s

Marc is known for his androgynous Glam Rock style of a fashion and music that he single-handedly invented during the late 1960s with his band Tyrannosaurus Rex, later T. Rex of early 1970s Rock and Roll.

A passionate devotee to fashion, his such looks and sounds have been credited to have inspired countless artists and musicians alike for his generation and every generation since thereafter. He will forever be recognized for his contribution to history with his gift of artistic expression in clothing and music that depicted a lifestyle of confident freedom and happiness. He redefined what it meant to be beautiful without the confines of gender identity or such roles in a society that had yet to fully embrace that philosophy in everyday.

Today his exploration Into such boundaries can often be taken for granted with the contemporary looks of current day that are a certain nod to his innovation to style as we know it in our modern time.
