First stop on the girl rock tour is Clobba, a tiny store packed with roughhouse glam gear for sexy biker babes and those who just like to pretend. The look here is completely rock star, with studded denim jeans and tight vinyl pants providing the hip-shaking foundation. Top it off with a rhinestone-studded sleeveless shell and you're ready to roll. Possibly the most intriguing items in the store are boy-styled sleeveless tops paying homage to the current rhinestone cowgirl icon herself, Madonna. The rhinestone cowgirl worship continues at X Generation and X Generation 2, with more Madonna t's in different patterns.
Studded denim is still the rage, as are knee-length denim skirts with or without frayed edges.
Some of the jeans here take on a chaps effect, with leather ribbons lacing up the sides. And for a true nature's child, spying on enemy camps through the tall grass, there's plenty of camouflage clothing. From the trenches of Mission bars to the front line of Union Square, camouflage is the order to listen to, apparently. For those of you not entirely willing to jump into the badass pool, Duzz 1020 offers a slightly softer, modified version of the tough-gal gear described above. This smallish boutique offers skirts and pants with leather side ties and a variety of camouflage miniskirts.
