Stylecon: Kim Gordon



Kim Gordon's music has graced our ears for years. Her style has set major trends from the music industry to the runway. Constructing a band, Sonic Youth in 1981 associating with the "No Wave" movement in NYC, Gordon always expressed her taste in fabric with fitted shirt dresses, Disco sequin infused tops, and trashed denim. Even though Gordon refuses the title of "Fashion Icon" she is very much so involved in the fashion industry, so much as that she created her own line, Mirror/Dash .In an interview with the New York Times, Kim Gordon explains the intentions of her line:

“We’re actually trying to do something a little less trend oriented, a little more classic, that might appeal to someone say who used to shop at Urban Outfitters but wants something slightly less young looking.”


Hint magazine called the collection “edgy” and “feminine,” adding that Mirror/Dash includes “minimal, wearable and with organic materials, featuring slouchy T-shirt dresses and smart cropped blazers.” This line is what numerous Urbanheads, People who shop at Urban Outfitters 24/7, are strutting down the paved sidewalks in New York. With classic lines and shapes as well as rocking out to my favorite Sonic Youth jam, "Sugar Kane", Kim Gordon is a Stylecon.

Stylecon: Zoe Kravitz



"American Woman" singer Lenny Kravitz's offspring, Model, Actress, Singer, and Socialite, Zoe Kravitz, is making a stamp on the fashion world through her vibrantly funky yet elegantly cool look. Dealing with numerous fashion art magazines implementing your closet to regurgitate what you should wear for the season comes a fresh face with a F*ck you attitude. Undeniable style added with respectable trendsetting abilities. Its pleasingly fresh to see Zoe becoming a fashion icon through plenty of wardrobes with different personalities. Kravitz goes from one extreme to the next but always making it look effortless. Loving the art that is fashion and appreciating vintage, Zoe Kravitz is a Stylecon.


One might not know that Zoe is indeed in a band! Elevator Fight is the name and thrashing the mic is the game. I honestly haven't heard a group like this in a while and their music makes me wanna jump up and down with a 40 in my hand. A sound that has that rock & roll foundation and then built up with all the new sound that is out now makes the perfect jam session when you're ready to rock out! So far my favorite Elevator Fight jam is "Paloma" and "Broken Glass".Deep. Check out their introduction:
