Fashionable Music Icons...

[Astérix]

I was actually planning on making a thread about fashionable music icons (Keiji was gonna top it) but I got lazy and decided to just use him as an avatar instead.

I'm not lazy, Minya. I think Pete Doherty is a fashionable music icon...Minya thinks Keiji Haino is. Discuss.

[HEWSINATOR]

Bowie?....

[krookedskater]

a lot of people are looking like axl rose/ cobain right now

[chris]

does being perpetually coked out of your fucking skull make you fashionable?

[ruach]

Peter Perrett

A good number of his clothes were made by his wife who Vivienne Westwood admired. Apparently in the 70s Westwood had borrowed a lot of her designs and stole a couple of shoe molds from her.

Nah...that little Fred Perry laurel logo does

I have yet to see anybody wearing tight red shorts with a leather jacket.

Now Slash, there is a person who has always had a style, that trends have come into and out of, but it has stayed 100% Rock and Roll.

Providence's Forcefield, there's really no way that any other musician(s) beat out knit body-suits.

kinda not really, but I really love the costumes that that one band... what are they called.... they played on the VMA's....ummm panic at the disco, that's it

but anyway, yeah, their stage costumes are great, for what they're for, reminds me of the glam rock thing quite a bit, I love it.

This is so very wrong in so many ways.

I'm with Minya on Einsturzende Neabuten. Yes.

Beck manages to throw some interesting stuff together now and then, and by that I mean he probably has a decent stylist. Looks like he's got Dior Homme on in his most recent music video on his myspace.

I've always been a big fan of the "Guitar Vader" japanese-cum-american-vintage-rock-and-roll thing, so I guess they were pretty stylish like that.

There's some others I was thinking of that I can't remember.
