Wednesday night, my dearest Meghan (MF) and I went to see Patti Smith in concert. It was the best way to cap off 2009. Such an amazing experience…more like surreal. Not sure if I can even articulate it. Her voice was incredible and she’s a real crowd mover. The woman even did a cover of Billie Jean!
I’ve been a fan of Patti’s for quite some time, not only for her music, but for her rock, andgrogynous style. Combat boots and a long blazer (usually by Ann Demuelemeester because we all know Patti’s a dear friend and muse of Ann D’s) always give off an air badass that comes so naturally to her. Even at over 60 years old, she still got it. Still talented and style savvy as ever.
Slightly disheveled, black and white, tough, oversized, perfection. She has such an uncontrived, effortless approach to how she wears clothing. And she’s not trying to please anyone. She’s an icon in both music and style. Must be nice having Ann Demeulemeester as one of your biggest fans, just saying.
