Please forgive my pun on this one, I couldn’t resist, horses on my shirt + round glasses. Sometimes I struggle to come up with something clever, like yesterday, I was trying to think of a way to work in the Nirvana Nevermind 20th anniversary to my little blurb because I listened to the XM Town Hall interview with the band this weekend and it was so cool! After not coming up with anything good, I asked my boyfriend if anything in my picture reminded him of something Nirvana-related and he said “Smells Like Teen Spirit” lol—it will make sense if you look at my last picture.
I think art, music, and style all kind of live in the same world… Nirvana was undeniably a movement in the 90s, plaid shirt anyone? Much like Lady Gaga today or Madonna in the 80s, these artists affect the whole world like forever, probably more than they even set out to, and whether they or we (the world) like it. It sounds like Nirvana didn’t at all realize what they had created and the impact it would have when they recorded Nevermind, and it was so crazy hearing them talk about it, their group dynamic, and the imperfections being what they love most about the album.
Anyways, to link back to my campy pun, when it comes to fashion, it is fun, but I also like to think about it from a more serious stylistic/artistic perspective and I like considering all of the influences involved and their reciprocal relationships.
Hope you all had a great Monday!
