Adam Ant | c. 1981
• • •
Ant designed of all his own costumes, indebted to historical, military and tribal dress, working with stylists and costumiers. In this instance he worked with David Charles Whiteing and Yvonne Swinden. This costume is perhaps the most widely known of all, having been used for the publicity photographs and promotional video for the single, Prince Charming, and later on tour. There are two shirts, two pairs of breeches, two wigs and two scarves, not identical but in similar styles, all worn in different combinations on tour. The gold and black striped shirt and the dark silver leather breeches were worn for the publicity photographs and in the video.
