Style/ Patti Smith


I have always been a big fan of Patti Smith, she was the pioneer of the androgynous look, I like her music, her poems and her life story. I recently had the opportunity to read "Just Kids" and I loved it! The story of Patti Smith and one of the most important American photographers Robert Mapplethorpe. So fascinating how they meet in New York, how they became best friends right to the end and talks about the 70's, music, art and fashion and The Chelsea Hotel in New York. A positive book about love and following who you are. I strongly recommend the book.

  2. i just always love your posts! They are different than the ones from other blogs. It's just full of inspiration.
    You outfitsposts are never 'just' outfit posts, and that's exactly what i like about it.

  13. I don't know much about Patti Smith but you just gave me the will to go and read this book :). Do you know Charlotte Gainsbourg ? When seeing the photos of Patti young I just felt like they look alike ! Just love your outfit as always :), can I mention that I am craving for the type of boot you are wearing ?

    I do love androgynous style a lot, one thing I would like to own one day is a man smoking :D.
