Patti Smith style

So, I've been reading the book, "Just Kids" by one of my favorite women in music and art, Patti Smith. Its a sort of memoir of her friendship with the artist Robert Mapplethorpe. I'm still in the middle of it, but so far I love it. I also love her style, which is the epitome of cool.



I was always very drawn to tomboyish style. She's got this great blend of beatnik and punk, my two favorite aesthetics.





I also think she's really beautiful.




I first got into her when I saw this album cover. As a jewelry designer, I was super drawn to the body chain she's wearing. Its delicate, but tough at the same time. Like an heirloom made into something new.




These are actually her boots. I want them.....





Badass!
