Hi Richard Nevell, review follows: article created on 26 December and exceeds minimum length; article is cited inline throughout; the sources used are reliable enough for the information cited and the less prestigious ones are mostly backed up by other sources; a QPQ has been carried out; I didn't spot anything concerning on copyright violation (note that the Earwig result is skewed by the attributed quote in the "Early life" section; hook fact is simple but effective, I have amended it slightly ("costumes"->"clothes") to match the source you cited and the Telegraph ("he went on to make clothes for such contemporaries as Boy George, David Bowie and Spandau Ballet"), to me, at least, costumes are something different to clothes. If this is an issue let me know - Dumelow (talk) 21:21, 29 December 2025 (UTC)
- @Dumelow: Strikes me as a good change,thank you. Richard Nevell (talk) 22:27, 29 December 2025 (UTC)
