Bowie X Mother Commemorates Capsule Launch with King Princess in New York
Co-Founders of Mother, Lela Becker and Tim Kaeding, celebrated the launch of their second and final Bowie® X Mother Capsule at the Soho Grand’s Club Room on Tuesday, August 29th.
Following the success of their highly coveted Ziggy Stardust-inspired collection in April 2023, the brand switched gears and took inspiration from the 80s as it debuted its final collection in New York City with a party that included a special performance by King Princess.
Guests arrived at the recently reopened Jazz club decked out in full Bowie glamour and eternal Glam Rock reign. Old-school televisions flashed dreamy sequences of MOTHER’s latest campaign and its inspiration as attendees sipped on Life on Margs for the evening. DJ Va$htie set the mood spinning 80’s hits, inspiring guests to dance under the disco ball.

Guests including Tommy Dorfman, Candice Huffine, Parker Kit Hill, Pat Cleveland, and Jemima Kirke, dressed in the brand’s Bowie® X Mother capsule as well as pieces from their latest drop.
The room was abuzz with excitement about who the surprise performer was and cheers erupted as King Princess took the stage. She performed a three song set of Bowie classics and the original song I Hate Myself, I Want to Party from her newest album Hold On Baby.
This Fall collection pulled inspiration from the iconic musician’s 1983 Serious Moonlight tour, which sold out every arena and stadium it played and cemented Bowie’s status as a global superstar. Embracing the immersive experience of Bowie’s electrifying tour in support of his massive Let’s Dance LP, this capsule showcases a vibrant blend of concert-poster imagery and album artwork.
Music has always been a source of inspiration for the Mother team. To celebrate the first launch, the brand threw a Ziggy Stardust themed bash at Caviar Kaspia in London where Alison Mosshart, lead vocalist of The Kills and The Dead Weather, alongside guitarist Jack Lawrence, played an exclusive electro acoustic set of David Bowie covers.
