B E A T SA TU T URM NE 2 E0 1 T7 An ode to rainy sidewalks, black turtlenecks & smoky village cafes... CI ND Y SH ERMAN Cindy Sherman’s early work, Film Stills, captures female stereotypes with a vaguely beat, early 60s aesthetic J E A N SE B E RG American actress Jean Seberg, star of Godard’s “Breathless”, exemplified the gamine style of the early 60s with her pixie cut, bulky sweater & skinny pants. J U L I ET T E GR ECO French chanteuse Greco earned the nickname “la muse de l’existentialisme”; She was known for her chic bohemian style, shocking audiences with her winged eyeliner, “black trousers, her bare feet slipped into golden sandals”. C HA RLOT TE G A I N SB OURG Gainsbourg, daughter of Jane Birken & Serge Gainsbourg, projects a mix of French nouvelle vague chic & modern day androgynous cool. APAC HE D A N C E R PAT TI SM I TH P UN K G ODDE SS Apache (Ah-Pahsh) dancing involved fake violence between partners; the woman often wore slit skirts and fishnet stockings. A modern-day example of the dance is found in Pink’s “Try” video. Patti Smith, with her choppy bangs, tees & jeans, has long channeled beat poet heroes like Allen Ginsberg, William Burroughs & earlier French symbolist Arthur Rimbaud. STRE E T ST YLE Simple black tops, shiny black pants or miniskirts, & bulky sweaters ART S MITH JEWELR Y Greenwich Village jeweler Art Smith helped define the arty beat aesthetic. He said “Jewelry is a ‘what is it?’ until you relate it to the body.” BEAT STREET ANATOMY of a L O O K Public School Pale blue for faded denim & heathered sweaters PANTONE 1029 Dark wine for knits & sweaters or mixed in plaids PANTONE 1029 Rainy day gray for sweatshirts & faded blacks BEAT STREET COLOR STORY PANTONE 1029 True black for everything, including shiny patent pants PANTONE 1029 Lipstick red for buffalo plaids & leather items PANTONE 1029 Softest baby fawn, knits or suede jackets PANTONE 1029 Luscious pink-cast caramel for trenchcoats & easy corduroy or canvas items PANTONE 1029 Yigal Azrouel BEAT STREET / FALL-WINTER 2017 / MINTMODA + Anna Karenina, nouvelle vague muse to Goddard + Debbie Harry, punk goddess = Warsan Shire, poet, lyrics for Beyoncé Lemonade BEAT STREET FORMULA LOOK Nouvelle Vague Muse meets Punk Goddess at an midnight poetry slam WHO DID IT BEST Acne, Alexander Wang, Courreges, TREND Black basics worn with arty attitude TRIBE Sophisticate & Rebel TOTEMS Black Turtleneck / Black Leather Jacket / Slit Skirt / Flats RITUALS Always has a Kerouac paperback in her handbag Cuts her bangs daily Wears fishnets whenever possible CORE VALUES Individuality, Anti-establishment, Art is Life A.F.
