The Influence Of Bob Marley On The Fashion World
Two years ago the Legacy series started on YouTube to remember the King of Reggae, Bob Marley. This mini-documentary is a 12-part series that highlights different chapters of the Jamaican superstar, each with special topics featuring conversations, interviews and never shown material with family and friends. This shows the huge influence of Bob on the world, even today. The last episode, number 10 in the range, is themed ‘Fashion Icon‘ where you can see that Bob Marley was mostly seen dressed in a rebellious double denim outfit.

Bob Marley, officially named Robert Nesta Marley, was born on the 6th of February in 1945 in Nine Miles, Jamaica. The Jamaican singer, musician, and songwriter would turn 75 in 2020, so therefore the Legacy series kicked-off as a celebration. In the last few years, the first episodes already went online, but now, the last episode is dedicated to Marley’s creative influence on the fashion world. His style’s evolution throughout his career, and his far-reaching and unwavering impact on global culture and fashion are beautifully captured again in this must-see series.
