    "Working with Harley Sears on the 'Bowie by Keanan Duffty' video was a pleasure. Harley truly understands the Bowie aesthetic and he's been able to create a concise clip that gets the story across very well. As the viewer will be able to tell, I certainly enjoyed the opportunity to design a collection of clothes that are directly inspired by a Rock Star who has had such a lasting visual impact on the culture of the last four decades." - Keanan Duffty
