Keanan Duffty –Author, designer and musician Rebecca Weinberg, Stylist of ‘Sex & The City’ Patrick McDonald from Bravo TV’s ‘Launch My Line’ Simon Collins, Dean Of Fashion, Parsons. About this Book Tracing the roots of rebel style to the music scene, this bookexplores how fashionable music and “anti-fashion” icons, like DavidBowie, the Sex Pistols, and Gwen Stefani, have inspired fashion. Rebelstyle is all about wearing common or mundane items with a sense ofcreativity and irony. The classic leather jacket (think Brando or JoanJett) remains a symbol of “outsider-dom,” while jeans have beenreimagined as a style centerpiece by every generation. The skirt isconstantly being reappraised, whether it’s mini, peasant, orfrou-frou, to simultaneously celebrate and subvert images offemininity. Rebel, Rebel is the anti-style bible that will inspire thenext generation of designers, fashionistas, and club kids alike
