It's only Rock 'n Roll . . . But I like it!!

Rock out, darlings!
Think leather, lace, zippers, and studs!!


Thanks to fellow fashionista Rich Hippie at http://rich-hippie.blogspot.com/ for her amazing rocker style and for finding the image at the top left of this post!
We all recognize those amazing studded Christian Louboutin booties - delish!

On the runways, designers were singing a similar tune!


At Rodnick, the nod to rocker chic was literal! Photo at left via style.com.


Dolce & Gabbana's rocker chic reference was a tad more buttoned-up, with a retro concert tee peeking out from beneath mountains of tartan.
We heart Bowie . . .
CC loves this look! Note the dramatic deep red lips, the silk cravat: it's all working!

Balmain - skin tight and shimmery - it's still rock and roll to me!


This and the following runway images in today's post are courtesy nymag.com.


Givenchy
Leather and lace? Yes and yes!!
Betsey Johnson . . . Fishnets and crimped hair do the (cheap) trick!

Jeremy Laing - shiny black and red really rock!

Salvatore Ferragamo
It doesn't get any shorter and tighter than this!


Alexander Wang The total look: skullcap, skimpy tank, zippered leather skirt, knee-high boots and black hosiery.
For all you aspiring rock stars:
How to look the part!
When it comes to dresses, the sexier, the better. But go short or low-cut, not both. Backless or sheer, not both.
You get the idea.
