On June 8, 1958 was born one of the stars of the music: Prince. In addition to being an icon of music, it also became a fashion icon. His style became a benchmark for all his fans and also for those who were not. A style that played with the androgynous and the sexual, making its way of dressing unique and incomparable. No one knew how to wear those clothes like Prince: he understood fashion in a different way. Every look with he appears in any event was a total declaration of intentions, always striking and with extravagant accessories. And just when we thought that the appearance of the disco was gone, Prince was the one in charge to give it a turn so that it became the look of reference of the time.

At its beginnings, around the 70’s, Prince delighted the world of fashion with an explosion of colors and shines that we had never been seen before. One of his must-have were heels and platforms: he measured 160 cm and did anything to look taller than he was. Or so they say since he said:

People say I wear heels because I’m short. Actually I wear them because women like them.

-Prince

One of the looks that has given more to speak is without a doubt the “pirate look”, one of its hallmarks in the 80’s that coincided with the release of his album in 1999. In it, bulky shirts were the protagonists.

Purple color became for him a referent since it symbolizes the ambiguity, the fantasy and the extraordinary thing. He could not have chosen better color to represent one of his best known songs as Purple Rain.
Feathers, volumes, colors, eccentric sunglasses, vibrant costumes that always accompanied a bell trousers, bombers, a thousand and one jewels (when Prince was already tired of wearing the earcuff, the rest began to wear it), the famous animal print, jackets with lyrics and even those oriental airs of thoughts such as Hinduism or Buddhism that made him compare to Jimmy Hendrix.

Lady Gaga, Miley Cyrus, Chris Martin, Beyoncé or Pharrell are just some of the artists who have copied the strongest showman styles of Minesotta without shamelessness. Prince has also inspired designers and has been dressed in more than one occasion by luxury brands as Versace.

And as a good lover of fashion we have also been able to see you in the front row of such important parades as John Galliano’s for Dior, along with the presence of Katy Perry and her ex-boyfriend.

If you love his style, you could find some vintage clothes that remind him at our vintage section as this fantastic jackets of Versace:

Her last 48 hours were spent surrounded by her family and close friends, except Miguel Bosé, since the distance prevented him from coming in such a short time. As a tribute, the uncle of Bimba published this emotive sentence in their social networks:

“Good trip Bimba, my accomplice, my companion, my love, my beloved daughter. Guide me.”

A death that has undoubtedly caught us unawares and which, her eldest daughter Dora, has faced with full maturity by publishing the following words in his account of instagram:

“Thank you very much to all those who support me, and to know that today is not a day of sadness, because my mother is the one that least liked sadness. Today is a day to be happy for all those moments that we have lived and enjoyed it “

After the death of our beloved Bimba, the video in which Dora and she go singing together has become viral:

With only 24 years, 17 years younger than the model and singer, Charlie Centa (English model) began his relationship with Bimba 4 years ago, being a great support for her. Also the young model had to see his mother march after the fight against the cancer. A loving life partner and in the workplace, Charlie traveled with her Spanish geography to work as dj’s, which sometimes became a trio along with the collaboration of David Delfín.

The team of Luxury and Vintage Madrid gives the most sincere condolences to the relatives and dear friends of Bimba. Much encouragement for these hard times.
