The Colours Of Christian Joy
I’m a huge fan of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Karen O is one of my heroes, not only because she’s a kick arse singer, but because she chooses the best costumes to wear on stage! Her good friend, and fashion designer, Christian Joy, creates these intricate, original and full-on freaky, but memorable outfits for Karen. She truly works the stage like a star, and I think these costumes might have something to do it!
How utterly cool is Karen O? I love performers who actually wear costumes and not just jeans and a t-shirt, or something.
Check out Christian Joy’s other collections. They’re slightly kooky, a mixture of 90’s, 80’s and the 50’s, but they’re still contemporary. They’re exaggerated, but still wearable. I love!
What do you think? Could you rock a Christian Joy zipper jumpsuit or a lobster tee?
Big love,

Love Karen O, love these designs, would feel like a massive fool wearing them myself. Just glad they exist!

Haha…When I read the title of your post, I was thinking Christian Joy…what?? A post about religion? Then I saw that it was someone’s name. I love the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and her style is wicked.

I might be able to do the white dress on the bottom, or the silver one above it, but I definitely couldn’t pull off anything else. I love Karen O, too!

Call me naive, but when I saw the title of this post I though,” What, is Ivy looking into cultish religious fashion now?” I was half expecting to see long prairie frocks and bonnets. But I can happily say that I would wear the booby exposing last zipper dress. Easy access is underrated, they should market this one to hip feeding mothers IMO.

aesth - Amen

Sal - Haha, I know, they’re definitely something you’d have to used to wearing. But you’d be a cool ‘fool’.
.
Dollface - Lol, holy crap, I didn’t even realise!! No, I don’t think I’ll be writing abou religion anytime soon, I’ll leave that up to you
.
Annie Spandex - I can totally see you rocking the zipper dress, Annie. Classy, girly and little bit edgey = Annie.
.
Beka - Really? I can totally see you in the entire bottom and top rows! High five for Karen O lovers
.
super kawaii mama - LOL, no, apparently someone else thought the same thing. I honestly didn’t even realise the connection! But now you’ve given me an idea - religious fashion, hmm…

I LOVE Karen O’s style and Christian Joy!! I could not pull off a jumpsuit myself (primarily because I’m “disproportionate” and have a v short body with v long legs) but a lobster t-shirt or some of the dresses, I like to think yes!! Particularly the bottom left and bottom right!

What great clothes. I also like to see performers making an effort with their attire.
