Girl Crush: Leila Moss

Leila Moss first entered my radar when it was announced that she was the muse for Alexander McQueen’s upcoming designer collaboration with Target. When I asked my boyfriend if he had heard of her band The Duke Spirit, he not only had but had actually seen them live a couple months ago, which I then recalled him telling me about. His description of her? That she was rocking out in leather pants… and I think that kind of sums up why she is my latest girl-crush.

Not just the pretty face of a cool band, the girl literally rocks, and has the style to match. Think tux jackets, ripped jeans, flat boots, and heavy black eyeliner to match the color theme of the rest of her look. It’s a look I have a hard time pulling off, yet always admire on other women. Apparently I am not the only one- not only has she been declared McQueen’s latest muse, Sienna and Savannah Miller’s Twenty8Twelve fall collection is also inspired by the singer. If you haven’t heard The Duke Spirit, I highly suggest you check them out, loving her music as much as her style seals the deal for me.

Get Leila’s looks in the lines inspired by her (try saying that 5 times fast):

This bow on this McQ tank manages to be more edgy than girlie.

I can imagine wearing this knit vest from Twenty8Twelve with everything in my closet, and more than a few things, like the tank above, that aren’t in my closet.
