Punk Princess

Today's look has more than a "little" punk flair, as in HUGE punk flair. Sleeveless leather vest, black lace shirt, a flowy little skirt, tights with holes, knee high lace-up boots & a model with pink hair.  Could this look get any better?  The image from the Charlotte Ronson Fall 2011 collection is the perfect casual weekend look.  The only issue that I have with this look is the sleeves of the shirt.  I've found that the puffed styling found in this shirt only works if you have stick thin arms (which most of the population does not).  

I also have to give a big round of applause to the model Charlotte Free for proving that punk looks great on the runway as she has turned into the "It Girl" of the year.  You can find her image in more than a few runway pics from 2011, including the Queen of Punk, Vivienne Westwood (I'm sure you will see some of her work here later, so stay tuned).  Over the years, there have been a few models, whose "alternative" looks have garnished them fame.  I would like to ask that the fashion community take this into consideration and add more models that represent the differing aesthetics (if not body image) of the consumers to their advertising & runways (rant over - enjoy the look).
