Queen’s legendary frontman and icon Freddie Mercury’s one of the biggest fan pages on Instagram, Freddie Mrcry, revealed some of the details about how Freddie built up his fashion style.
In the caption, the admin of the page mentioned that Freddie and his girlfriend Mary Austin worked at a clothing store, and this experience became a perfect opportunity for them to see the future of the fashion world.
Following the new outfits that shock everyone, Freddie was so confident to wear them, and he managed to mesmerize other people with his unusual style. Also, he created a revolution in the fashion world with this appearance.
Additionally, being a person who oversees the fashion world created more ways for Freddie to shape the fashion world. Lots of fashion designers lined up to making clothes for Freddie and Zandra Rhoads was one of them.
Here is what the admin of the page wrote:
“Freddie grew up at a time in which it was hip to rebel against the mainstream fashion. Both he and his then-girlfriend Mary Austin worked at a clothing store. This gave them the perfect opportunity to oversee the fashion world.
The androgynous style of clothing was barely trickling into the artistic world or Freddie was already strutting around in jeans for women en flower-patterned shirts. The confidence with which he wore his outfits blew away any shadow of a doubt about whether or not he had mistakingly wandered into the women’s department.
It was a statement and soon enough it put a revolution in motion. Male fashion lost every sense of direction. Makeup, colorful blouses, tight pants, high heels- everything was possible and it was all the rage.”
The admin continued:
“Before too long fashion designers were lining up to design for the young fashionista. For instance, his famous ‘batwing outfit’ was designed by Zandra Rhodes.
Later on, she’d design way more clothes for Freddie. The legends go that she was working on a wedding gown. Freddie fell head over heels for this white dress with pleats.
The designer decided to cut the dress in half and gave it to Freddie. That’s how a wonderful wedding dress transformed into a legendary Queen outfit.”
