Bio
Bad Girlfriend is yet another testament to the bond that music and fashion will always share. Mixing cool girl rebel vibes, indie rock, and killer style, these four girls from New York City are bringing back an aesthetic that hasn’t been around since the good ol’ days of rock n roll. Christian Owens, Savannah King, Lyla Vander, and Brianna Lance came together to form Bad Girlfriend as an all-girl band, specifically. With music influences from far and wide and a combined writing effort from each member, Bad Girlfriend is definitely on their way to rockstar status. Head to their Twitter for dates and times of the latest shows and to their Instagram for some of the best inspiration.
Q&A
Always in your closet is…
Leather motorcycle jackets and cat suits. Also, we like a good leather mini skirt.
Who or what inspires the Bad Girlfriend aesthetic?
I think trying to come together on things we all like more than anything else. If all four of us divas can get into something, it’s gold, but also a killer babe always helps inspire. Pattie Smith, Francoise Hardy, Maryanne Faithful, etc.
Who is your biggest fashion influences and why?
Probably The Ramones, just because they kept a uniform they all could wear. And they had great legs.
Do you borrow from the boys? And what do you borrow?
Duh, always. T-Shirts, jackets, hoodies, whatever they got that’s good, you gotta steal it.
Going out on a typical Saturday night, you’re wearing…
It depends on how rough the Saturday was. Rough one: Jeans and t-shirts. Chill one: mini skirt, dress, leather shorts. You know, something spicier.
What is one piece of clothing you would steal from your 16 year old self?
Ah man, I think we all had some pretty good crop tops that could do a second visit in our lives.
What is your formula for getting dressed?
Normally, it’s getting something you love and wearing it straight for a week, then switching it up once you get bored. That or just do what Joey Ramone did.
Your fashion motto is…
Leather is always the best option.
Out #1 style tip is…
Wear whatever you want. Screw what other people think.
