Today our hero swoons over Kathleen Hanna's crappy old sweater:
Buzzfeed reports that “13-year-old fashion blogger Tavi Gevinson met with the former Bikini Kill/Le Tigre front-woman during New York Fashion Week and scored her iconic ‘Feminist’ sweater and some zines.”Right, because the best way to capture the spirit of riot grrrl is to stick its most meaningless totems behind glass in a museum. And while you're at it, is there a better place to start than feminists' favoritest means of self expression, clothes? I didn't think so.
That’s nice of her, but like Kriston Capps I can’t help but think the sweater belongs in a museum or something.

Brilliant!
ReplyDeletePerfectly put. (I tried to express the same sentiment in a comment at Y's actual blog, but what I wrote there seems hopelessly confused compared to yours.)
