Fri, March 19, 2010 at 1:20PM The Runaways' Rockin' Style
The movie The Runaways is coming out today—all about the pioneering 70s girl band of the same name that first launched Joan Jett to fame—and we're dying to see it, even if just for the fashion and the music. The reviews aren't all that sparkling, actually, but we're finding it hard to resist the idea of Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning rocking out—and flaming out—in decadent L.A. style. The film, based on the autobiography of the band's other star, the singer Cherie Currie, received Joan Jett's crucial stamp of approval (she served as producer), and as far as we can tell, it has the 70s bad-girl rock-chick look down cold. Light denim? Check. Oversized plastic shades? Check. Little, Liberty-print like florals? Check. At ideeli today and next week, we're also serving up some Runaways-appropriate gear, including this adorable light denim dress and floral shirt from our Lucca sale today and these amazing sunnies that will be in our Betsey Johnson sale next Wednesday.


We don't recommend a full-on Runaways revival, either style- or behavior-wise (we won't spoil the ending but, as you can probably imagine, Joan and Cherie didn't stray too far from their song, "Born To Be Bad"), but we love the idea of incorporating a little rock n' roll edge circa 1976 L.A. into the closet. Rock on, ladies!
