What do you say when a legend has died?

While it’s difficult to put into words how much David Bowie has influenced, inspired and changed the way we look at pop music, gender fluidity, and the cult of celebrity, it’s equally impossible to remain silent on the sudden death of an icon.

Here’s how celebrities and fashion insiders are paying tribute to the man who came from outer space to blow our minds time and time again.
