Icons of Style: Kurt Cobain

Kurt Cobain playing MTV Unplugged in New York in a vintage mohair cardigan over a vintage band tee. This would be Nirvana’s last public performance.

 

In his closet: Vintage mohair cardigans, flannel shirts, vintage floral dresses, vintage patchwork Levi's 501s, leopard print coat, vintage band tees, bold stripe sweater and t-shirts.

Iconic look: Red and black rugby stripe sweater (with copious holes), vintage patchwork Levi's 501s, long blonde mane, striped Fila headband.

Key accessories: Chain wallet and white Jackie Onassis style sunglasses.

Thing you can't imitate: His authenticity, vulnerability...a sincerity so complete that it became dangerous.
