The Gold Dust Woman

When it comes to fashion, it looks as though Lex can do no wrong. Drawing style inspiration from the gypsy queen Stevie Nicks right down to the femme fatale Sharon Tate.

Combining elements of all kinds of different aesthetics, Lex creates this timeless yet authentic look. The authenticity of her style comes from the direct inspiration taken from original photos of the 1960s and 1970s, most notably pictures from iconic concerts of a distant time such as Woodstock, and the infamous concerts at Hyde Park, which were a goldmine for eccentric and individual style. Other female influences are Jane Birkin and Brigitte Bardot, both icons of effortless style.

Immediately you can see the influence of the iconic stars of yesteryear (I mean, look at the white fur coat in the pictures below!) Although inspiration has been taken from these, one can see that Lex has developed this look, and added her own concepts in there too. Lex’s genersl aesthetic has a definite vibe of Woodstock and even the 1966 cult movie Sedmikrásky (or Daisies as you may know it ,) and it is easy to imagine her at Hyde Park in 1970, watching Pink Floyd or at The Altamont Speedway watching The Rolling Stones. In Lex’s style I see remnants of the actress Sharon Tate, also, with whom she shares a slight resemblance.

So far, all I have mentioned are the female inspirations, but even more excitingly, Lex’s style is derived from some of rock and rolls’ greatest male characters, such as Roger Waters, Mick Jagger, Robert Plant, Roger Daltrey and Jim Morrison. These influences furtherly add to the rock and roll vibe, and are a key point in the aesthetic.

Over all, we can see the layered gypsy goddess style come through, combined with the opulence and flamboyance of some of the worlds greatest rockstars and they come to together to create a well rounded, timeless and effortless signature look, that truly defines Lex.
