Antony Price is an English fashion designer best known for evening wear and suits, and for being as much an "image-maker" as a designer.[1] He has collaborated with a number of high-profile musicians, including David Bowie, Robert Palmer, Iva Davies,[2] Steve Strange, and Duran Duran, but especially Bryan Ferry and Roxy Music, whose look was defined by Price's designs.[3][4] The manner in which Price dressed – or in many cases, undressed – the "Roxy girls" on the covers of their albums helped to define the band's pop retro-futurism.

More recently, Price has been noted for dressing celebrities such as Tara Palmer-Tomkinson, Patsy Kensit, Anjelica Huston,[5] Jerry Hall, Camilla Parker Bowles.[6] Diana Ross, Melanie Griffith, Yasmin Le Bon[3] and burlesque performer Dita Von Teese.[7]
