Songstress Style

Paper Mag put together style inspiring songstress and the lists are dead on here is the "tres chic" list read the rest here.


Chan Marshall: Performing under the moniker Cat Power, this Chanel-clad chanteuse was approached by Karl Lagerfeld outside of a New York club and he apparently told her: "Only a certain type of woman can look glamorous when smoking."

Eleanor Friedberger: As the be-banged sister half of brother-sister duo Fiery Furnaces, the former Miu Miu model likes mixing and matching thrift duds with the likes of Alberta Ferreti and Prada.

Lykke Li: The best thing to come out of Sweden of late, singer Lykke Li (who is in the process of relocating to New York) is known for sporting (generally black) deconstructed, Imitation-of-Christ-y numbers.

Jenny Lewis: She of Rilo Kiley fame loves a classy hot pant -- whether it be in flower jumper or sparkly high-waisted shorts form -- and vintage mini dresses.

Janelle Monae: The futuristic R&B sensation is a recent signee to Bad Boy records and her new album Metropolis Suite, out this month, introduces us to her alter-ego Cindi Mayweather. Monae's trademark look consists of a tuxedo jacket, mini bow tie and saddle shoes.

THE ORIGINAL: Marianne Faithful
