Musical Muses

Not only is Lady Gaga known for her top-charting hits, but she is also known for her radical and outrageous outfits. Fashion indeed has helped redefine her kind of music and made us be transfixed into her apart from the others. Just like how fashion have its own muses either through the form of models and celebrities, the music industry also have its respective muses. Fashion and music goes hand-in-hand which is why this entry will feature two musical muses that have not only captured us with their music but also with their sense of style.

1. Alison Mosshart of The Kills
I got acquainted with The Kills through Gossip Girl with their tracks "Sour Cherry" and "U R A Fever". Currently I am addicted to their single "Tape Song" and with Alison Mosshart's style. Her style is very casual but with just the right amount of rock n' roll vibe to it. She sticks to low-key pieces such as jeans and shirts but places a big emphasis on bold prints, colors, and accessories like stripes, plaid, and layers of chain necklaces. She never looks overdone and I really like the way she mixes prints together and not making it look like they are clashing with one another.

2. Karen O of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs
This front woman of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs have a very distinct and original style which makes people be drawn to her. Karen O is very creative and adventurous when it comes to fashion. She is not afraid to take risks go out-of-the-usual. Her look is a reminiscent of the 80s glam, Joan Jett, and the Blondies all mixed up.
