 The Runways is the real life story of 5 teenage girls  from Southern California who rocked the world of music in the mid 70's.   Led by Joan Jett and fronted by Cherie Currie, the yin yang of the two girls style caused an instant phenomenon.   Jett's androgynous biker style mixed with Currie's platinum locks and smoldering sexuality was an intoxicating combination.  FANNING & STEWART AS CURRIE & JETT Teens all over the world couldn't get enough of the hit single "Cherry Bomb" that still holds it's own against any rock single today.

TOM BINNS GOTHIC PUNK NECKLACEJust like Sex & The City, the wardrobe and style of The Runaways is one of the major characters.   What was rebellious and shocking in the 70's is totally current on fashion runways and magazines today.  There is a cool mix of punk / gothic / baroque style floating through most fashion runways these days.  What was once an alternative look is now at home on the most prestigious and established runways in the world.  BALMAIN F/W 2010 - PHOTO: MARCIO MADEIRA

Designer Christophe Decarnin's collection for Balmain and Jewelry Designer Tom Binns creations could have been wardrobe for Joan Jett or Cherie Currie during their heyday. JOAN JETT & CHERIE CURRIE - 1977  It is so interesesting to see these rebellious styles as a classic in a way.   Adding one of these looks to your wardrobe is a safe investment.   Just like a Chanel quilted handbag will always be in style, so too will a pair of skin tight leather pants.  It's all about how you accessorize them.  Click CHERRY BOMB to read more and watch the movie trailer.
