CHRIS ISAAK has done a bad bad thing: by making sultry videos that reflect his
sleazy side, he has become a bonafied sex symbol.
Chris is rarely seen not wearing a suit, though you'll never catch him sporting the average
Armani. Electric blue, shocking purple, covered in mirrors, he's worn it all.
Like Johnny Cash and Buck Owens before him, this rockabilly hipster prefers his
threads to be louder than his screaming fans. (2001) |

In the early days, SUEDE was dismissed due to their
obvious sense of style. These days, however, they're more often praised for it.
Accessorized by lots of attitude, Suede looks smart in most everything they wear. Sleek
leather jackets and trousers are common, and usually black.
Even in second-hand t-shirts and jeans, the bandmates tend to evoke that sense of glamour
they are famous for. (2001)

While the rest of England was smitten with rave culture, the MANIC STREET PREACHERS embraced dirty rock music.
According to Q Magazine, they arrived from South Wales to London "ready-wrapped in stencilled Clash shirts and Boots warpaint".
The wardrobes of the self-styled Manics consist of everything from skintight pants to animal print coats.
These punk/glam hybrids define trash and vaudeville.(2000)

Decadence becomes LENNY KRAVITZ. He is the "rock star" poster boy with his fur coats, bell-bottoms, and shades on stage.
Originally not included on this page because he was such an obvious choice, he eventually was added after a lot of consideration and it became apparent that although he reeks of fabulousness, he was one of the cats who brought glamour back to pop music.
So for that, we are thankful. (2000)

RUFUS WAINWRIGHT is an admitted clotheshorse. One past London shopping excursion had to be cut when he found himself spending loads of dough on new clobber.
The waiflike Rufus looks devine whether he's sporting a trim designer suit or a tight tee and neck choker. Urban-hippie chic fits this poet just as well with patchwork flares and peasant blouses.
And we can't forget those sideburns. Sideburns are good.(2000) |
