Patti Smith Talks Of Her Iconic Style
She has ‘look at me, don’t look at me’ written all over her style and has done for the span of her career, that quote too is how iconic and much loved musician Patti Smith sums up her style exactly. Forever inspiring designs and editorials around the world, Patti Smith is responsible for the roughed up, boyfriend-clothes-wearers in our community today.
The New York Times met with Patti Smith in Greenwich Village where she shared her personal views on style, her outfit and the way she controls parts of the fashion industry.

“Even as a child, I knew what I didn’t want,” Ms. Smith recalled. “I didn’t want to wear red lipstick. When my mother would say, ‘You should shave your legs,’ I would ask, ‘Why?’ I didn’t understand why we had to present a different picture of ourselves to the outside world.”
