Dressing Like a Zany Grandmother: Big in 2k60 (when ur a grandparent)


[Photo by Max Tollyworthy]
I remember at Lollapaltlooza, when Uffie came on stage dressed like a drugged up grandmother, the world was in trouble–a new zany trend would emerge. While many alts attempt to be forever young, some are starting to dress like old people. Santogold (A.K.A. “the African American M.I.A.) is wearing this house dress that old white women use when they disinfect their entire house with Lysol and watch soap operas. However, this old lady dress has a little bit of an electro aesthetic 2 it in order 2 ‘appeal to the entry level alts who think they understand quirky fashion.’

    Whenever I see santogold I really wish St.Tropez topless-chic would become mainstream-alt.

    She had the same dress on at the Lowlands festival in The Netherlands, maybe she invented a hibernation dome looking like a grandma dress.
