Biker grrrls


If you’re going to spend serious money on a leather biker jacket, you may as well go to the experts, no? Schott pioneered the biker jacket in 1925 and designed the Perfecto in 1928. For ss11, the Perfecto has been reinvigorated with a playful new colour palette as well as contrasting-coloured collars and fur or shearling trims. While the newest ‘stars’ seen wearing Perfecto jackets include Lily Allen, Lady Gaga and Rihanna, I prefer to remember the old timers who made the look their own; James Dean, Debbie Harry and The Ramones…
