Blake hearts Alpinestars - Tip of the Day
Filed under: Style Tip of the Day, Fashion, How to Wear
Alpinestars has been dressing moto and race car drivers for years but dressing Hollywood's hottest starlets? Oh yes. It's happening. Their new line, which they call a cross between "James Dean and Cali surfer," offers a mix of biker inspired geared that has young celebs (think Blake Lively and Kirsten Dunst) on the verge of joining Hells Angels. Okay maybe not joining Hells Angels exactly. More like borrowing some of their leather and studded style.The "biker" look has hit Hollywood hard over the last few years – leather leggings, jackets, and tough girl tees – but Alpinestars actually makes the look authentic. The down and dirty line features a collection of some of the coolest leather jackets we've seen to date but also adds in some pintucked blouses, cute denim dresses, and ultra cozy sweaters too.

OK, seriously? I wear Alpinestars gear because I expect it to hold up to ashphalt or gravel at over 100km/h. Appearances are completely secondary. Now they're selling non-functional fashion wear, "inspired by" their protective gear, for _more_ than the cost of the actual gear?
Sorry if that doesn't inspire confidence! I want the people making my gear to worry about what my butt looks like after a long skid, not what it would look like on a catwalk.
