The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars is the breakthrough album that catapulted David Bowie into the international spotlight. Ziggy Stardust focuses on Bowi e’s titular alter ego, an extraterrestrial rock messiah sent to Earth to warn of an impending apocalyptic disaster. In the story, Ziggy wins the hearts of fans but suffers a fall from grace after succumbing to his own ego. At the peak of Ziggy’s fame, Bowie shocked the world by retiring the persona in July 1973. Ziggy’s impact, however, reverberates to this day. With each new album, Bowie would legendarily shapeshift into bold new and uncharted sonic and visual territory, creating new looks, sounds, styles, personae and more in his ceaseless quest for constant reinvention and radical self-expression. Close your eyes and picture Bowie, and there he is in the splashy, exotic, creations worn onstage in the early 1970s as Ziggy Stardust, and as recreated here in Steiff's stunning tribute as part of their Steiff Rocks! series.
