My friend once saw Kim Gordon on a plane and described her as being "really, super hot". Kim Gordon, otherwise known as the bassist of Sonic Youth, is not only "really, super hot," but also seems really classy, healthy, and normal as well. Instead of grappling with rehab, messy relationships, or scandals, Kim has been married since 1984 to her bandmate Thurston Moore. The two have a daughter, and they live in a small town in Massachusetts. Now, Kim has come out with a clothing line called Mirror/Dash. Mirror/Dash is inspired by Francoise Hardy, because - in Kim's own words - "there's a need for clothes for cool moms." So far, the jacket pictured above is the only item available through Mirror/Dash, but expect to see more items on the site soon. Kim Gordon might be the only rock'n'roller in the world who can have a cool-moms-clothing-line AND still have the massive critical acclaim and street credibility of being a respected and relevant musician. She's hip no matter what she does. It's not fair. Plus, the jacket, which retails for $415, is super cute.
For those who need an extra fix of Kim Gordon, who Flavorpill calls the "benevolent queen of gracefully aging art-rockers," she's playing at the Montalvo Arts Center in Silicon Valley this Friday. Check Flavorpill for more details.
