On a recent snowy day in Athens (I’m sure those of you in town remember it well), we met with local musician and art student, Kristine Leschper. Kristine is the irreverent and mysterious vocalist behind Mothers, and she’s just as interesting as her music. For this weeks street style review, we asked Kristine to wear an outfit with a story:

The Jacket:

“The jacket was my grandmothers in the 1940’s/50’s. I was at her house a few years ago looking through her incredible collections of clothing, art, and trinkets that she had gathered over the years. I told her how incredible the leather coat was, and she said, ‘take it – looks better on you!'”

The Ring:
“When I was eighteen my father gave me this ring, because he wanted to be the first boy to give me a diamond. “

I have to admit, I almost teared up a little when Kristine told the ring story…but I held it together for a short conversation to find out a little more about Kristine’s style and inspiration:

Vinyl Mag: First, what are a few of your favorite things?

Kristine Leschper: Bones, ivy plants, teeth, and winged insects.

VM: What/who influences your style, or what kind of things inspire the way you dress?

KL: I joke that I dress like a teenage boy in the 90’s. This outfit is pretty put together for me – I usually end up wearing a lot of corduroy shirts and denim jackets.

VM: What are you currently listening to?

KL: Angel Olsen’s “Tiny Desk Concert” on NPR… over and over.

VM: Are there any shows you’re excited to go see in the near future? (local or otherwise)

KL: I’m really stoked about Real Estate in March, and Daniel Rossen in April.

VM: Lastly (and most importantly), If you could pick a superpower what would it be?

KL: Invisibility!
