Rolling Stone: Fashion Icons The twenty musical revolutionaries on the following pages changed not just how we thought and felt, they also changed who we looked. Here are the rock stars who became fashion icons.
The Big Bang - The Beatles Electric Bard - Bob Dylan Psychedelic Gypsy - Jimi Hendrix Hippie Princess - Janis Joplin Vicious Chic - The Velvet Underground Diva Debutantes - The Supremes Space-Funk Kings - Parliament/Funkadelic Interstellar Gender Warrior - David Bowie Sex Gods - Led Zeppelin Rock & Roll Pirates - The Rolling Stones Well-Dressed Anarchists - The Sex Pistols Sex Bomb - Debbie Harry Goth Mother - Siouxsie Sioux Original Blingster - Michael Jackson The Look - An intergalactic Fred Astaire, Jackson has always been about flash; red leather jackets, spats, sequined marching-band uniforms and white fedoras. Now he reserves the flash for his face The Legacy - Bobby Brown, MC Hammer, Usher and Britney all graduated from the Jackson school of fashion. Rule number one: Sequins make dance moves pop. The High Point - Michael deubted the moonwalk during "Billie Jean" at the Motown 25 concert in 1983 wearing a black sequined cardigan over a sequined black-and-white checked shirt, with silver-sequined socks and a lone white glove Sneaker Pimps - Run-DMC Alpha Girl - Madonna The Look - Madonna started out as a street scamp in leggings, short skirts and armfuls of bracelets. Next came lingerie as outwewear, glamorous gowns and furs, Western gear and now, leotards and riding crops. The Legacy - Every female pop star since - Debbie Gibson, Gwen Stefani, Avril Lavigne - has emulated Madonna, whether they know it or not. The High Point - The antithesis of a blushing bride, Madonna performed "Like A Virgin" at the first MTV Video Music Awards, in 1984, dressed in a while bustier, tulle skirt, Boy Toy belt buckle, white gloves, and to top it off, a white veil - which she proceeded to hump. Thrift Store Punk - Kurt Cobain Gangsta Guru - Snoop Dogg Hip-Hop Fop - Andre 3000 Emo Hustler - Pete Wentz "we make our heroes in America only to destroy them" | |
