# Retro Rockstar Revival Fashion Sterling Clairmont Turns up the Heat for Fashion Gone Rogue By Marie | Published 2012-02-22 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sterling-clairmont References: [fashiongonerogue](http://fashiongonerogue.com/sterling-clairmont-kinya-fashion-rogue/) & [fashiongonerogue](http://www.fashiongonerogue.com) The wardrobes of rock legends like Joan Jett, Pat Benatar and Tina Turner get a contemporary update for the last of Fashion Gone Rogue’s winter editorials, starring Sterling Clairmont. Captured by Kinya, the aptly titled ‘Too Cool’ photoset unleashes [rebellious rocker fashion of the past](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-october-collection), with hints of this season’s must-have colors and accessories provided by stylist Kristina Chanel. Sporting a hot pink sleeveless blazer with matching pants from Supertrash, Sterling shows she’s not afraid to show off some skin, much like the music icons themselves. Finding the perfect balance between rebel rocker and high fashion fashionista, Kristina pairs a sheer [Dolce & Gabbana](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dolce-gabbana-dolce) printed blouse with silver jeans from [Rag & Bone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rag-bone1) for a show-stopping look. I’ve always believed that adding a little edge to any ensemble can go a long way, and Fashion Gone Rogue’s Sterling Clairmont editorial shows just how effective it can be in creating a signature look. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.8/10 - Popularity: 77% | Activity: 59% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Retro Rockstar Fashion:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation: Create a fashion line that combines vintage rockstar style with modern design and materials. - **Rebellious Rocker Fashion:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation: Develop a clothing brand that captures the spirit of past rock legends while incorporating unique twists and contemporary trends. - **High Fashion Fashionista:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation: Introduce a fashion brand that combines high fashion elements with rebellious and edgy aesthetics. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion Design:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation: Create a new line of clothing that reinvents retro rockstar fashion for the modern market. - **Clothing Retail:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation: Establish a retail brand that specializes in unique and rebellious rock-inspired fashion. - **Fashion Styling:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation: Offer styling services that help individuals incorporate retro rockstar fashion into their personal style for a contemporary look. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Feminine Rebellion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/songs-of-siren.md) - [Punk Rock-Informed Fall Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superculture-collection.md) - [Intimate Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velvet-heat.md) - [Customizable Statement Accessory Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rocknot.md) - [Subculture-Themed Generational Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wildest-ones-yet.md) - [Contemporary Femininity Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-femininity.md) - [Politically-Inspired Runway Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selkies-the-libertine-collection.md) - [Iconic Singer-Starring Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saint-laurent-and-diana-ross.md) - [Vintage-Inspired Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vintageinspired-jewelry.md)
