What do the Backstreet Boys, the Spice Girls, and Britney Spears all have in common? Aside from being megawatt ’90s pop stars, they have all been dressed by the same stylist: David Thomas. In a new coffee-table book released today, entitled, we get a closer look at all of Thomas’s glamorous styling work .
Thomas – originally from Gloucester, but now based in LA – got his start in fashion in the late ’80s. He was working as a plumber when he received a grant from the Prince’s Trust in 1988, which gave him enough money to start assisting . One of the first fashion personalities he worked for was Judy Blame, Boy George’s late stylist and close collaborator. “I hounded Judy until he gave me a job,” says Thomas. “He was just such a free spirit, and he didn’t follow trends – he did his own thing.
Working with celebrities proved to be his calling, as they offered a different freedom compared to magazine editorials. “Magazines and fashion started to get really grungy in the ’90s, and that wasn’t my thing,” says Thomas. “I like sexy and glamorous [clothes]. I remember thinking, maybe I’m better suited to the music world – they get me more.”Throughout his impressive 30-year career, Thomas has worked with all types of stars – including one of his all-time favourite style icons, Boy George.
