'Bad Reputation': Raising a toast to Joan Jett, the punk rocker who redefined rock 'n' roll fashion

Joan Jett's unique sense of style inspired millions of women all over the world and it wasn't just because she was dressing like a boy - it was because she truly owned who she was

"A girl can do what she wants to do, and that’s what I’m gonna do."

Armed with a red lippie, a raggedy mullet and kohled eyes smoldering like only hers can, Joan Jett is without a doubt, one of the greatest fashion icons of our time. Her unique sense of style has inspired millions of women all over the world and it isn't just because she was dressing like a boy - it was because she truly owned who she was. Her tight leather pants helped, of course.

Raising a toast to Joan Jett's documentary 'Bad Reputation' that releases on September 28, let's take a look at Joan Jett, the style inspo - the woman who inspired generations of female punk rockers, who wore glitter like a boss and was the face of the famous 'Black Shag'.
