I knew that David Bowie had a great sense of humor about himself, but seeing that he hasn’t lost it in the many years since he last made an album is awesome.

both the song and the video are AMAZING.

I enjoyed this a lot, but I cannot follow the video at all. Too many people who look the same! Is everyone in this video played by either Bowie or Swinton? There are times when i’m like “oh that’s definitely Bowie” and times when I’m like “oh that’s definitely Swinton” but mostly I’m like “??????” so in conclusion I think this video doesn’t do anything at all to debunk the theory that Swinton and Bowie are secretly the same person. :D

The other two main people in the video are Andrej Pejic and Saskia de Brauw, each of whom are models known for their androgyny. In the video, they play the two young “stars” who up-end the bland suburban lifestyle of Tilda and Bowie. In real life, Andrej Pejic has made a career of appearing in both menswear and womenswear fashion shows and ad campaigns for high-end womenswear. At one point you see a third model, Iselin Steiro, dressed as a young david Bowie with short floppy red hair. No one in the video is played by David Bowie or Tilda Swinton except their main characters, the husband and wife! :)

It’s unclear whether Andrej Pejic’s first outfit was from the menswear or womenswear department — perhaps intentionally so. On one side it was a relatively average dinner-suit, but the other half was completely sheer with an elbow-length leather glove. Even the shape holds no clues, because this season Gaultier almost entirely abandoned his love of corsetry in favour of a looser, more masculine silhouette for the womenswear. Corsets, in fact, were only seen on the menswear designs, with slight hourglass silhouettes being added to the suit jackets through rigid structure-work and clever tailoring. — from Jean Paul Gaultier Couture: Dandies, Decadence, and George Sand.
