Alison has an interesting demeanour and dress sense she seemingly is able to flip between a Kurt Corbain wearing unconventional sunglasses and cardigans one day to Janis Joplin leather, fur rock goddess the next. It is interesting to see how musician influence magazines, or open the archive of former trends and reintroduce them to the wider public.
The Kills song DNA rhythm guitar riff I still found it mesmerising, one of those riffs that constantly moves through your head accompanied by Alison voice it is incredible combination of creative talent.
