NEW YORK TIMES STYLE MAGAZINE

by Scott Hall

Who hasn’t at some point in time honored their favorite musician by adopting their style? For me, it was channeling Robert Smith of The Cure: big, teased black hair held in place with a lot of hair spray, smudged eyeliner and, of course, smeared red lipstick. Dressed like that, I was their number one fan at least in my mind. The British Photographer James Mollison’s current show, “The Disciples,” at Hasted Hunt Gallery in Chelsea (through August 16) begs the question, “When should one stop appearing in public dressed like a rock god?” Judging from this motley crew of devoted fans photographed at various concerts, the answer is never. Rock on!
