So you want to be a rock/pop/hiphop star? Such an ambitious dream calls for extreme fashion measures. Serious guitar players can join the ranks of Elvis Costello, Kid Rock, David Bowie (and many more)
with a handcrafted Jodi Head guitar strap. They’re stylish and strong and fit every personal style. If you’re going for a theatrical, over-the-top stage presence, you must call Manuel Cuevas of Manuel’s Exclusive Clothier, the legendary Nashville outfitter who has designed stunning embroidered pieces, including the costumes the Beatles wore on the cover of Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band (pictured). He has also designed for country legends like Johnny Cash and the incomparable Bob Dylan. Manuel is so exclusive, he doesn’t have a web site! But you can give him a call at (615) 321-5444. His custom, glittery outfits usually run from $5,000 to $7,500 (see this photo gallery of Manuel’s creations), but he does have a new ready-to-wear line with that star quality. Add some sparkle to your stage presence at Jacob & Co., where “Jacob the Jeweler” has provided mind-boggling bling to hiphop artists, singers and musicians including 50 Cent, Sir Elton John, Bono, Lenny Kravitz, Beyonce and dozens more. Check out these 18K white gold skull cufflinks with 6.79 carats worth of diamonds. And we all know that every rock star worth their salt has to have at least one pair of leather pants. Look no further than Agatha Blois of New York City Custom Leather. Her designs have adorned some of the best bad boys and girls of rock such as Judas Priest and Joan Jett. She’s even managed to give some edge to pop tarts Britney Spears and the Spice Girls with cool leather tops and other slick apparel. You can look like you’ve raided the closet of pop/fashion icon Gwen Stefani (pictured) just by wearing some of her L.A.M.B. designs, like this sleek rocker rebel skirt ($225) or her leopard leggings ($95).
