IMO the fashion styles and clothes were often distracting from his music.

In the early eighties 'camp' was like the mainstream in music-video's, so it wasnt such an issue, but I honestly think his fashion-'sense' has been more of a curse then a blessing to his career:

- The nude-cover from Lovesexy and the silly Peter-pan outfits from the Lovesexy tour did surely put some people off;

- The fashion-mess he offered in the mid-nineties (pale, whitecaked face, an anorexic looking body and face, and the word 'slave' on his cheek) surely didnt help his sales;

- Nothing wrong with a nice suit, but the The Time-like suits Prince wore during the '00 - '10's more echoed the image of some cheap, not to be trusted pimp, then someone with style and class.

WHAT?? LOL. I think the fashion and style defined the era in many ways, the furthurest from distracting. It's been a blessing IMO because it's added the extra spark, I am sure it had little to do with what he sold. I mean he was not the only one, with a 'OUT THERE' fashion sense. It made people wonder, and speculate, But I really doubt it contributed to the declining of his sells. It makes him PRINCE...lol

my fave era is the Warner Bros era, 1978-1995.
