Style Icons

--The Horrors

Like an Edward Gorey cartoon. I particularly enjoy the ensembles of...

--Mr. Rhys "Spider" Webb, keyboardist of The Horrors.

I've long admired his authenic 60s goth/mod look. He looks like he could have walked directly out of ? and the Mysterians. I love the drainpipes, scarves, vests, and winklepickers, and sincerely wish more men put a little... panache?... in their wardrobes (and actually wore clothes that fit... and got rid of those big ugly white athletic shoes).

--Mr. Carl Barat, former singer and guitarist of The Libertines and Dirty Pretty Things

The disheveled and reckless rebel, with flair. Skinny jeans, Cuban heels or brogues, stripes, undone ties, suspenders, slim suits... Classic British rocker style mixed with a bit of mod. Delicious.

--Ms. Justine Frischmann

I adore Justine. She just exudes cool. The black, the androgyny, the totally awesome wedge cut, the often-present sneer... she's just badass.

--Mr. Nick Cave

He looks like he climbed out of a dumpster behind Jack the Ripper's house. He's pretty much the master. What else can you say? He's the original.
