Gaultier, who admits readily enough that "I'm a rocker," is nevertheless adamant that his clothes are not meant to appeal to only a single age group.

When we last saw David Bowie, 37, the neon rocker had cleaned up his glitter-king image in order to bask in "the serious moonlight." But Bowie has more disguises than a chameleon, and in his new 20-minute video for the song Blue Jean, from his soon-to-be-released album Tonight, Bowie assumes two roles.
