• Style Icon: Patti Smith

pattismith

Musician, poet, artist, mother, activist: Patti Smith. And now I must also add style icon. The effortless, thrown-together look of Patti Smith is in one word, cool. Loose ripped up rolled up jeans, ties, button-ups, blazers, and boots all so personally worn-in portray the true spirit of Smith. A spirit, that has taken the “Godmother of Punk” through life with a level of integrity many lose with age.

The 2008 documentary Patti Smith: Dream of Life chronicles, artistically and disjointedly, the life and career of Smith. The film “is the product of her 12-year collaboration with director Steven Sebring, and it is dominated by her own voice and vision, her sense of poetry, her wry warmth, elegance, and taste. She’s a sweet, kind person, as we see her, who’s suffered and been redeemed by significant personal loss” (IMDB).

Suggested Patti Smith listening: Horses (1975), Easter (1978)
