Lately, St. Vincent has been looking hyper-sleek. See: the artist performing in a skintight orange latex dress matched to her angular electric guitar, which she did last summer at a festival in London, or the equally modern black blazer and super short skirt that she wore last month at the Kennedy Center to honor composer Philip Glass.
Given these avant-garde leanings, one might be surprised to discover that St. Vincent (aka Annie Clark) can easily pass as a late-’90s riot grrrl, as seen in her most recent snapshot. Seminal punk band Sleater-Kinney just announced, by way of an in-studio shot, that Clark is going to be producing their next album—Clark is pictured beside band members Carrie Brownstein, Corin Tucker, and Janet Weiss, wearing a cropped denim jacket and oversize sunglasses. It’s not the first time Clark has worked with the band—she collaborated with Brownstein on several short films last year and she posted a video to Instagram of her covering one of their songs as a preshow warm-up—but she hadn’t quite leaned into the particular brand of bookish, Pacific Northwest style that the band mastered in the late ’90s and early 2000s.
Given that it s been over 20 years since the band first got together, Sleater-Kinney’s sense of style has undeniably matured. In the photo, Tucker paired a leopard-print top with a fuzzy coat, Weiss matched a red beret to her blazer, and Brownstein complemented her steely gaze with a slouchy, black denim jacket. But with that striped denim coat, St. Vincent helped prove that no matter how many years go by, riot grrrl edge will remain timeless.
