I have literally no idea. Seriously. I started thinking today how you relate music back to fashion. Looking at my early inspirations. From my hippy 60's era to my goth rock era. I had a musical answer for everything. I still listen to and adore most music from that era....But, some of the clothing. Including black lipstick, pvc capes, new rock boots and john lennon piss yellow sunglasses I have had to leave to random halloweens. So how do I relate rock to fashion properly and mix the two? easy.....by assessing how the songs made me feel at the time and still do. then seeing what fashion item makes me feel the same way.....or maybe not so easy....
Bob Dylan. 'How does it feel?' my first bit of Dylan. An X introduced me to Dylan. Who my parents hated. (the only bit of 1960's rock they hate) And I really loved him. Although 'HDIF?' is not my fav song....'Postively 4th street' is. A rare bit of biting Dylan angry wit. The only piece of fashion i can relate to Dylan is Sunglasses. Laid back with a rock edge. Wayfarers from Ray Ban. What else. i got my first pair of Ray Bans this year too. Black with a limited edition floral print on the inside from BTs. They do make me feel a bit mean and a bit, 'yeah, I slept with the band.'......
This cost Manson and the band millions. I mean millions. there was lawsuit, after lawsuit in relation to this image. But to me, Manson is the soundtrack of being a teenager. There is nothing better then a good anthem from the Manson. Think 'Disposable teens' or 'beautiful people' even 'the golden age of grotesque' album I thought was amazing. The best thing for me was seeing him live in 2003 at the cusp of his golden age....tour. He blew my mind (and the speakers) but this image makes me think of frilly shirts from that era. The album GAOG was all about the decadent pre 2nd world war German era. So Manson wore a top hat, bowler hat, frilly shirt, suspenders, crisp pants and canes. and er, a grill.a lot.
So this shirt from last season's moschino cheap and chic fits the bill perfectly. It's on sale now as well.....Team with high waisted black skinnies and pointed boots. Black blazer and plenty of finger bling.....leave the grill to Manson.
I love this song. 'Closer' by Nine inch Nails. It makes me so incredibly, well, I wont say.... but listen to the song yourself.....it's sexy and intense....it makes me feel a bit like a good leather jacket will. The below jacket is from Balmain. A/W10. structural and directional. But there is something so naughty about a good leather jacket. It adds a certain, something to an outfit. I do LOVE a good slathering of leather in an outfit....I think I need to lie down now.....
