jump for joplin

photos taken by LEIGH

model: vassiliki

stylist: myself (maxwell conrad)

valentino scarf (worn as a headband), victoria's secret leopard lace nightie (worn as a tank), [men's] hollister flannel, hollister skirt, wilsons leather leather jacket, givenchy tights, aldo boots

this outfit summed up in two words?: modern. rocker.
this outfit epitomizes a cliché rocker ensemble with the use of a leather biker jacket, headband, fishnets and boots - but the outfit is then rooted to today with the use of some trendy mall purchases that were thrown into this saucy mix.
a prime example of juxtaposition working in fashion and costumes.

the mix of classic rocker and mall slave wardrobe pieces is much like this music mix:

janis joplin & [techno] autobahn.
rock chic & hollister california.

something not expected to work, yet it somehow does.
