This post is inspired by my lovely sister, who bought me a Cat Power limited-release record when she was in Sydney recently. Chan Marshall, aka Cat Power, is not only a strong, successful woman, but she also has some rather enviable style (as noticed by Mr Lagerfeld himself). I'm not sure I could really pigeonhole her style (though admittedly, "Chanel-like" would not be my first option), but the elements I admire is that she manages to look effortlessly cool while still giving off the I-just-got-out-of-bed-with-guitar-and-cigarette vibe.




For Cat Power style:
- Be outspoken and passionate for what you believe in. Confidence is always sexy.
- Smudge your eyeliner.
- Cut a blunt fringe.
- Learn how to play guitar. (Bonus points for gorgeous husky voice).
- Blazers and jeans are key for an effortlessly chic look.
- Download these songs: "Sea of Love", "Living Proof", and "Rambling (Wo)Man".
- Cat Power fashion collaboration? We can only hope...
- Cat Power official website.

Good choice! I'm loving her Bob Dylan tee look with all the heavy metal accessories, but the effortless blazers and jeans can't be beat!
ReplyDeleteI wish I could do a blunt fringe. Damn cowlicks.
ReplyDeletehaha...someone above said 'looks like she just got out of bed and had a cigaratte...yeah right...how about she just got 'fletched' up, had a sexual moment...and THEN had a ciggarate? No offense intended. I really don't care what she does as I like her free style anyway...but perhaps the adoring younger crowd should see things in a truer light of day...I mean c'mon...just woke up? Yeah right...with full makeup, etc. That's wrong. She was simply having a good time, cat power style...please don't shoot me, the messenger...
ReplyDeleteI was glad to have found out about her. She and I share the same everyday style. Although I'm a bit more experimental.
