Breaking: You Want to Look Like Pete Doherty
In an incredible scoop, today's Post informs us that crackhead rocker Pete Doherty is currently "the arbiter of cosmopolitan sartorial chic." While other generations get Coco Chanel and Jackie Kennedy as their fashion icons, we're stuck with the Olsens and Sienna Miller and, now, a British musician best known for the open sores covering his face. It just doesn't seem fair.
You know who to blame, of course: the magazine editors. GQ senior fashion and market editor Brian Coats claims that all the cool kids are dressing in Doherty's beyond-grunge style. He notes that the look can especially be found in Williamsburg and the Lower East Side — neighborhoods considered the birthplace of other such dapper ingenuities as the trucker hat and leggings. If you live in these areas, you might want to consider a move. Also, if you have a subscription to GQ, you might want to consider alleviating yourself of that problem.
