Kim Gordon: Clothing Designer?
Sonic Youth's Kim Gordon has stepped off stage and into the world of clothing design, starting a label called Mirror/Dash (named after her and Thurston Moore's side project) with friends Melina Wansbrough and Jeffery Monteiro, the NY Times reports. The musician told the paper, “There’s a need for clothes for cool moms,” and her first piece is a limited edition military-inspired wool jacket. If you want one of the 50 made, you'll have to be a size 2 through 8, and be willing to fork over $415...a price one might consider if she were marketing whatever it is that makes her and husband Thurston keep their youthful looks. Earlier this month Gordon showed her support of a fellow designer when Sonic Youth played a Marc Jacobs show during Fashion Week.

Is this a surprise? She started X-Girl like 10 years ago. Just sayin.

She looks so hip and happening sitting in that window.

Yeah she had X-Girl back in the early 90's.

It's funny that she says she wants to make clothes for "cool moms" yet if you click on the Mirror/Dash link, there's a pretty young girl modeling the jacket. I still love Sonic Youth though.

Easy, that pretty young girl is my mom.
