This fashion season, Bob Dylan is a reference point for fashion-conscious girls everywhere. All the stuff that's in stores this fall - skinny blazers, stovepipe jeans, boatnecked, French-philosopher striped shirts, fitted peacoats, flat-heeled, mod boots, Wayfarer sunglasses, striped scarves - is all inspired by Dylan.
Dylan has always been fashion-conscious. In the '70s, Dylan donned leisure suits, leather, glam-rock-inspired black eyeliner and, inexplicably, whiteface; in the '80s, 'Miami Vice'-style blazers and earrings; in the'90s, it was lots of suits, especially with Western-style ties.
In 1965 in London, Dylan fell hard for the polka-dot shirt. He wore the fitted, button-up ones. There's even a Dylan site called new-pony.com that has an entire photo gallery devoted to him in his beloved polka dots.
Biba's head designer Bella Freud agrees. She says that Dylan is one of her constant muses, not just because he references so many different people and archetypes, but also because he makes fashion.
