Fashion for Vinyl Fans

Photo: Shannon Cottrell/LA Weekly from "Red Zebra @ Crocker Club" Shannon Cottrell and I saw this outfit at a fashion show from L.A.-based Beauty is Pain held at a party called Red Zebra a few weeks ago. I'm not sure if it's conducive to sitting, but it seems like an interesting use of records that are broken or scratched to the point where they are no longer playable.

Even as we speak, I’m wearing a t-shirt with a graphic of that yellow middle-of-a-45 plastic thingie. People my age recognize it. Anyone under the age of 30 or so asks me if it’s some kind of Satanic symbol.

Looks like an ugly plagiarism of an already ugly – but quite well-known Maison Martin Margiela dress: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_P65TpBALXq0/S4TXtmh9KwI/AAAAAAAAAmE/G2ykzjyIJj4/s320/tue01.jpg

I see your vinyl record dress, and raise you the polycarbonate 3″ minisingle compact discs of The Tamperer featuring Maya.

Real vinyl fans don’t have records that is broken or worn beyond use, they have proper record players!

  Indeed. This is not clothing for vinyl fans.
  
  Its the equivalent of a fur stole for fans of fluffy animals.

I’m going to have to call swing and a miss on this one.

Ladies, having trouble with guys not making eye contact? Be hot but wear something that looks your ass look incredibly…. stupid.

This is great. I think the headphones make the outfit. They really pull it all together. And, her makeup is amazing.

This reminds me of that piece of body armor someone made from NES cartridges several years ago. (Can’t find a picture, but I swear I’m not making this up.)
