Is there any cultural realm Bob Dylan does not dominate? The New York Post has done an in-depth investigation into Dylan’s impact on women’s fashion, citing the return of skinny jeans and blazers and flat-heeled boots as evidence of Dylan’s sartorial omnipresence. While recalling the various incarnations of Dylan fashion, we started daydreaming about what would happen if his Rolling Thunder Review-era look became favorable on the runways. Sienna Miller (whose current style owes almost as much to Dylan’s mid-60s androgyny as it does to Kate Moss) would trot around in white face and black eyeliner, flower-adorned hat permanently attached to her head.
Of all Dylan’s fashion-related visions, of course the Don’t Look Back era is the coolest, but how awesome would it be to see Lindsay Lohan sporting the truly absurd cartoon cowboy fringed leisure suits Dylan now seems to favor? Dylan can totally pull it off cuz he’s . . . um . . . Bob Fucking Dylan, but if one of those little fashion bitches tried to swing it they would fade away just by attempting to approximate such fundamental hipness. Just ask Donovan.
Which of Dylan’s many looks would you like to see revitalized?
