NOT ONLY WAS HENDRIX A MUSICAL GENUIS, HE WAS A STYLE ICON
But it’s not about cutesy florals or dapper, tailored pairings; there’s an element of sloppiness that gave Hendrix that oozing sex appeal and bohemian flair. His hair was wild, you’d find feathers in unconventional places, and a misplaced button or shriveling head scarf was not uncommon. Maybe we can blame that on the drugs, but the look stuck, and designers this season had this exact look in mind. Etro gave us warm paisley prints in sexy silhouettes, Karen Walker (notorious for her kitschy pattern pairs) also showcased a lineup of pajama-like silks with paisley prints, Roberto Cavalli didn’t hold back on sex appeal with fringe crop tops and psychedelic animal print separates.

Jimmi was always setting the stage whether he was on it or just off. I think Bootsy Collins and Andre Benjamin sampled some of Jimmi’s swag, in terms of their wardrobe. The second and third pictures depict more of my style than the first, yet bits and piece of each image are doable!
