Crazy Lady Chic: A league of their own



Their music video heroines may be slightly neurotic, suffering hypertension, or simply strange, but one thing I love about RĂ³isin Murphy and Lykke Li’s musical alter egos, is that they are obsessed with looking flawless. These stylish divas embrace the fantasy of fashion, and the various personas that clothing can stir up. Both Murphy and Li’s distinct musical style reflects their approach to being an original. Even when singing in a taxi cab or busking their style stands on its own which puts these leading ladies in the leagues of their predecessors Annie Lennox and Grace Jones.
