Daughters of Rock [Frances Bean Cobain]

No need to think twice, her last name is famous by itself. Frances was born in LA to Nirvana's frontman Kurt Cobain and Hole's singer Courtney Love. On April 1, 1994, Cobain visited her father at the Exodus Recovery Center, a rehab center in Marina Del Rey, California, where they played together. This would be the last time Cobain saw her father alive. Her father died when she was 20 months old and she was subsequently raised by her mother, her aunts, and her paternal grandmother.

Rock as Fashion [Rodarte]

Kate and Laura Mulleavy turned their obsessive interest in landscape art into the starting point for their futuristic, apocalyptic Spring 2009 collection.

Drama and intellectual content, along with an otherworldly loveliness, may always be the Rodarte thing, but more down-to-earth-wearable pieces would be welcome. "Beautiful androids" (as the models were referred to backstage) make for great editorial, but flesh-and-blood women like Natalie Portman, Sarah Sophie Flicker, and Dr. Lisa Airan, who all sat in the front row, need to be able to imagine themselves wearing the clothes out into the big, beautiful world. Their designs included dyed Grecian gowns, fishnets and knits composed of a mixture of materials, including leather and chains, so decayed-looking as to almost defy the label "sweaters."

Daughters of Rock [Kelly Osbourne]

Here's the first entree so we can follow up her style.

She is an English singer, actress, television personality and fashion designer; Kelly Michelle Lee Osbourne.

She's daughter of the living legend, Ozzy Osbourne, and Sharon Osbourne.

Kelly wasn't considered as one of the best dressed or favorite celebrities, but since she lost weight and became a fashion police, has gained the affection and respect of others. She is a perfect example of how to dress classy rock.

Rock as Fashion [Balmain]

Many designers have been inspired by the leather, studs, trashy and torn clothing. Christophe Decarnin dressed models with biker jackets studded and safety pinned to the hilt; tight, bleached jeans or shredded cut-offs; and holey T-shirts to match their torn fishnet stockings; on his Spring 2011 Balmain runway.

"It's a look I've always liked," the designer said backstage. "I keep pictures of it all over my office."The message on the soundtrack—first, Frank Sinatra crooning, then Sid Vicious croaking "My Way"—would seem to indicate that this is what Decarnin prefers doing. That single-mindedness always gives his clothes energy to burn, but the question will be: Is Balmainia still so strong that women will shell out the serious bucks that a crystal- and metal-studded jacket is going to cost, when the look is so DIY?

Rise of Rock

Rock came to life around the 50s, and from the beginning was the cause of much controversy. It began as a musical movement combining African American blues, jazz, gospel, and country; but over the years it has become more than just that, it's a lifestyle. 

Rock music and fashion have been inextricably linked. The tough, leather-clad image of early rockers influenced a generation of young people. A cultural war broke out in the mid-1960s in the UK over the rivalry between the "Mods" (who favored high-fashion, expensive styles) and the "Rockers" (who wore T-shirts and leather).

As rock music genres became more segmented, what an artist wore became as important as the music itself in defining the artist's intent and relationship to the audience. The Glam rock of the 1970s brought fashion to new heights of importance in rock music with the "glitter" image of artists like T. Rex and Alice Cooper being widely influential. Some artists who had been active in the late 1960s such as David Bowie, Lou Reed and Iggy Pop also adopted a glam-influenced look.

In the early 1990s, the popularity of grunge brought in a fashion of its own. Grunge musicians and fans wore torn jeans, old shoes, flannel shirts, backwards baseball hats, and grew their hair against the clean-cut image that was popular at the time as well as heavily commercialized pop music culture. Musicians continue to be fashion icons; pop-culture magazines such as Rolling Stone often include fashion layouts featuring musicians as models.

Rockers were commonly associated with drugs, alcohol and sex; but in the early 1970s much of the rock and roll cachet associated with drug use dissipated as rock music suffered a series of drug-related deaths (Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, Kurt Cobain, etc)

Both the music and the fans have matured together, over the years it has had  a greater acceptance in popular culture.
