On my radar: Janicza Bravo style. With her distinctive trouser suits, caps, derby shoes and cropped hair, I’m not surprised to learn she started out as a stylist and costume designer before embarking on her career as a director. Looking forward to her forthcoming drama, The Listeners this week on BBC1 💥More on disneyrollergirl.net or link in bio📷 @cianobasmith @lola.pani x2#janiczabravo #gentlewomanstyle #thelisteners

“Here’s me in a sleeveless Aertex top made for [The Clash]. I did however used to wear that studded bracelet a lot, but just with my usual black jumper and jeans. Forever sporting the rockabilly quiff thing. Rockabilly was a huge influence throughout. I made these great rockabilly shirts with coloured suede-type fabric fronts or striped front and black backs with pearl poppers. I wore a red one all the time but it’s difficult to find photos of the band wearing them. This is the nearest thing I can find – Joe Strummer is wearing a yellow striped one and Mick Jones must be wearing a red one. I loved those shirts and as I say, I had a powder blue one and a red one, which I used to wear with jeans or a mini skirt.”“Straight after I graduated, Bernard [Rhodes, The Clash’s manager] got in touch and said, “you are coming to New York”. This is in the Clash office in the Garment District of New York. I had a sewing machine in there, just working day and night as usual. We were supposed to be getting a range together for a shop Bernard was planning. But it never happened as The Clash and Bernard were in the process of splitting up – usual rock and roll machinations. The most exciting thing was that I shared the office with Kool Lady Blue who was managing a lot of hip-hop bands and I nearly got to work with the Double Dutch girls, but that again never happened. But hip-hop was all around, dudes walking down the street with giant beat boxes with Kraftwerk samples blaring out. It was so exciting. Afrika Bambaataa and all that; graffiti was everywhere but the real, original thing.”In case you missed it, Part 2 of my feature on @alexmichon1968 and her shy punk fashion recollections is up on the site.

She’s been on my radar since around 2014, but is @marie_marot on yours? She should be!As well as tailored pants, Jil Sander or Church’s lace-ups, Charvet socks and her own fabulous shirts, her style signifiers include the earthy citrus-meets-musk Hermès Eau de Gentiane Blanche which I immediately rediscovered and re-fell in love with 💚I also love this quote: “The mistake people make is to think of [androgyny] as an imitation of masculinity. It’s precisely the opposite: it is about redefining a sense of elegance and seduction that you are in control of.” Read more on disneyrollergirl.net or link in bio#mariemarot #thenewgarconne

“The Slits – they were doing something that was extraordinary. They were playing with gender stereotypes like the party dress. Viv Albertine had this party dress we sewed for her, which she said was like her favourite party dress when she was a little girl. Like we all had when we were little, you know with the puff sleeves and the sweetheart neckline and the piqué fabric. I just thought that was extraordinary. She wanted it exactly like her party dress, but for her as a grown up. But then she mixed it with plimsolls and then with the wonderful addition of the socks knotted in the hair. So, it kind of detoured the whole idea of the young girl – like the naughty girl who would mess up her uniform. I saw the socks as kind of a nod to Rasta hair styling, you know what I mean? And then the kind of low pumps, which meant that there weren’t high heels. So, all these little significations were amazing.The other person I always wanted to look like and I would copy her, was Jeannette Lee, who for me was just an inspirational style icon. She would be wearing one of my miniskirts with a matelot blue and white striped top, with a 1940s royal blue long-to-the-ankle mac. She would always wear high heels because she was tiny, but with thick dark black tights. And then she would have the hair in a high cascading ponytail which made her look like a Ronette. She also wore over-the-knee high leather boots or 1940’s snakeskin platform shoes which were so desirable. She told me she got them from Petticoat Lane market and I went on a fruitless search to find some similar.”Published this lovely interview with @alexmichon1968 on my blog, talking about her time making clothes for The Clash and her style evolution as a ‘shy punk’ during the late 70s.Read Part 1 on Disneyrollergirl.net or link in bio#alexmichon #theclash #theslits #jeannettelee

“The Slits – they were doing something that was extraordinary. They were playing with gender stereotypes like the party dress. Viv Albertine had this party dress we sewed for her, which she said was like her favourite party dress when she was a little girl. Like we all had when we were little, you know with the puff sleeves and the sweetheart neckline and the piqué fabric. I just thought that was extraordinary. She wanted it exactly like her party dress, but for her as a grown up. But then she mixed it with plimsolls and then with the wonderful addition of the socks knotted in the hair. So, it kind of detoured the whole idea of the young girl – like the naughty girl who would mess up her uniform. I saw the socks as kind of a nod to Rasta hair styling, you know what I mean? And then the kind of low pumps, which meant that there weren’t high heels. So, all these little significations were amazing.The other person I always wanted to look like and I would copy her, was Jeannette Lee, who for me was just an inspirational style icon. She would be wearing one of my miniskirts with a matelot blue and white striped top, with a 1940s royal blue long-to-the-ankle mac. She would always wear high heels because she was tiny, but with thick dark black tights. And then she would have the hair in a high cascading ponytail which made her look like a Ronette. She also wore over-the-knee high leather boots or 1940’s snakeskin platform shoes which were so desirable. She told me she got them from Petticoat Lane market and I went on a fruitless search to find some similar.”Published this lovely interview with @alexmichon1968 on my blog, talking about her time making clothes for The Clash and her style evolution as a ‘shy punk’ during the late 70s.Read Part 1 on Disneyrollergirl.net or link in bio#alexmichon #theclash #theslits #jeannettelee
