A celebration of the mystical artist's velvet capes, silk-fringed shawls, and layered chiffon.
When rock royalty Stevie Nicks sings about the Velvet Underground in her 1982 song “Gypsy” she doesn’t mean the New York band — she is talking about the vintage shop in San Francisco that she used to frequent in the 60s. The California store’s pieces — racks of velvet, chiffon, and lace — enchanted a younger Nicks and ultimately helped shape the iconic style that she is known for today.
Since it's the perfect time of year to layer on those velvet shawls and capes, i-D rounded up some Nicks' most influential outfits:Nicks’ style through the years has been otherworldly, saturated with deep velvets, intricate lace shawls, and tons of fringe. She once confided inthat she does not do casual well, and her favorite day of the year is Halloween.
that her younger self remembers thinking, “I’ll be very, very sexy under 18 pounds of chiffon and lace and velvet, and nobody will know who I really am.”Nicks, dressed in free-flowing chiffon, took the stage with fellow musician and good friend Tom Petty while performing in their 1981 music video for their chart-topping song, “Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around”.
In 1998 Nicks appeared on the red carpet dressed in a crushed brown velvet gown with matching overcoat alongside bandmates Lindsay Buckingham and Mick Fleetwood. The three were attendingexhibition at the Puck Building in New York City. The exhibit celebrated the many memorable covers created by the popular publication, something that Nicks and crew were very familiar with — Nicks has been on the cover ofmany times, both with and without Fleetwood Mac.
