RockerMike and Rob Presents:Suzi Ronson
Suzi Ronson (née Fussey) played a crucial behind-the-scenes role in shaping David Bowie’s image during his Ziggy Stardust era. Born in England, she worked as a hairdresser in Beckenham when she first encountered Bowie and his then-wife, Angie Bowie. It was Suzi who gave Bowie the now-iconic red mullet haircut, which was inspired by a style from a Japanese fashion magazine. Impressed by her work, Bowie invited her to join his team as a personal stylist, making her the first woman to be part of his touring crew.
During the early 1970s, Suzi traveled with Bowie and his band, the Spiders from Mars, styling his hair, helping with wardrobe, and supporting the overall theatrical vision of his performances. This period was one of the most visually striking and influential phases of Bowie’s career.
While working with Bowie, she met Mick Ronson, Bowie’s lead guitarist and arranger. The two fell in love and eventually married, starting a family together. After Mick’s passing in 1993, Suzi continued working in creative fields, including music production, writing, and storytelling.
In recent years, she has shared her experiences from the Ziggy Stardust era through interviews and articles, giving fans a glimpse into the behind-the-scenes world of one of rock’s most transformative periods. Her contributions to Bowie’s image and legacy remain a vital part of his history.
