Yesterday came the sad news about the passing of possibly the most influential and iconic artist of our time - David Bowie.
There is virtually nothing we can add to the thousands of posthumous praise and career reviews that are pouring from every media outlet, the blogs, the tv channels, every radio station is playing Bowie songs since last night and today every newspaper's front page is an obituary.
His influence on popular culture is so vast that it's hard to describe him as pioneer of just one discipline but one of the most important and groundbreaking achievements that we can bestow upon Bowie is how he challenged the status quo and people's perception of gender and masculinity. In a time when being gender-fluid is a trend, we take our hats off to the original gender-bender, the father of quirk, the incomparable and unsurpassable David Bowie.

We lost a hero yesterday, may he live in our hearts and minds forever more.
