My friend Charlie is trying to make a tweed coat rock. It’s a fox hunting English gentlemen meets a heroin shooting New York rocker. I am all for breaking down the boundaries but is this too far? One might end up looking like a hobo. Not the sort of hobo that one might hope to mimic, the type of hobo that has the look of sear terror in his eyes. The type of hobo that smells like piss and yells obscenities but only to the voice in his head. Plus on top of all this he is trying to bring in the man bag as some sort accessory that all “scensters” need. Street fashion has made a full 360° turn then a further 180°. Glam rock with a big button? I think not.
