BOWIE MEETS BARDOT

No one is surprised when a bombshell and an English rock star get together unless the ‘behind closed doors’ they think you’re referring to belong to the closet. Sure, David Bowie and Brigitte Bardot didn’t have a fling in real life, but the rocker’s 1973 blazer and the sailor stripe which Bardot modeled so effectively have had a beautiful, lasting union. It’s difficult to say ‘no’ to two icons, so, for your consideration, here are a few striped blazers at various price points.
