While we love the idea of combining amazingly talented individuals who are already well-established in the music community, we aren't always fans of the mish-mashing of musical styles and personalities. However, when we heard that Jack White of The White Stripes was forming a kind of supergroup side project, The Dead Weather, we have to admit we got a bit giddy. The main reason for said joyous response: Alison Mosshart. This Florida-born, raven-haired singer/songwriter (she's one half of The Kills with Jamie Hince, Kate Moss' main squeeze) is the lead singer of the band, which will be on tour this summer to promote their just-released album, Horehound. While we can't wait to watch this gang of four perform (Dean Fertita and Jack Lawrence round out the quartet), we also are excited to see Mosshart and her stellar style on stage. She not only possesses an exceptional sound, but she also happens to be an icon to fashion-conscious rockers on both sides of the pond. Mosshart's grunge-glam-punk look, impeccably worn-in wardrobe, and devil-may-care attitude are incredibly covetable and inspirational, hence why we're showcasing it in today's installment of Girl of the Month.
Adios,
