Siouxsie Sioux

Today I just wanted to share one of my fashion inspirations... and no she's not off the runway but rather off a different kind of stage. ;)

Here is the summary of her posted on Wikipedia:

Siouxsie Sioux (born Susan Janet Ballion on 27 May 1957 in London), is an English singer-songwriter. She is best known for her work as the lead singer of the rock band Siouxsie and the Banshees (1976-1996) and of its splinter group The Creatures (1981-2005). She has also sung with artists such as Morrissey^[1] and John Cale.^[2] In 2004, she began a solo career.

Siouxsie is considered to be "one of the most influential British singers of the rock era".^[3] Her music has influenced a variety of artists including LCD Soundsystem,^[4] Tricky,^[5] Jeff Buckley^[6] Massive Attack,^[7] and TV on the Radio.^[8]

She was also rated the number seven female rock artist by Q magazine in 2002.^[9]

I think it's blatantly obvious that her style is being replicated in today's fashion. Not only was she respected for the incredible music she wrote but she was also recognized for her unique, extravagant taste in clothes. She consistently had an eye for assembling one-of-a-kind looks with bold prints and statement accessories.

Here are two of my favorite music videos for you to check out. Notice her gorgeous ensembles in both videos (& of course, the awesome music!).





I plan to do numerous posts on my fashion inspirations. Be forewarned though, absolutely none of them will be models. I could honestly care less about the fascination with models. My inspiration lies in only those that are artists and casuals around the world with their own personal styles. Basically people who are not simply human mannequins. Of course, I mean no offense to any models out there. You keep on rocking those clothes they pay you to look good in.
