Since the dawn of time, women have looked to other women—idols – for fashion advice and fashion inspiration. Throughout history, women have turned to celebrities, Hollywood’s finest, for advice in the fashion realm. Yet, as time has progressed, the nature of fashion and the fashionable has changed. No longer do we turn to Vogue (always in my heart) for the most current fashion advice. Rather, we look towards our phones, and more specifically, Instagram. Bloggers have grabbed our attention in the most recent years, showcasing their most stylish outfits at the touch of our fingers.
Yet, once again, fashion has taken a turn. With the music industry, specifically the DJ realm, embracing the female artist, there now exist a new fashion platform. Look no further than the DJ booth for the latest fashion inspiration. Female DJs are the new fashion platform. We crave their playlists and their wardrobes.
Rummage through the closets of Her Campus Bucknell’s favorite fashionable DJs:
1. Harley Viera-Newton
Harley embraces her ultra feminine side in a male dominated industry of DJs. The former in-house DJ for Dior Beauty, Harley has found herself as the poster girl for the brand. Her closet is full of gorgeous (and enviable) feminine dresses—embracing the lace of Valentino, the full skirts of Dior, and the prim tweed of Chanel. Harley is notorious for completing her ladylike looks with striking and bold red lips.

The British-born DJ now resides in New York, NY. Chelsea is known for bringing her British background into play, choosing fit-and-flare dresses that scream prim and proper. Yet, Chelsea brings a twist to her looks, dressing down her choices with loafers or high-fashion sneakers. To top of her looks, Chelsea plays with edgy hairstyles, choosing double French braids or an up do.

5. Leigh Lezark
Leigh’s taste is sharp like her black bob. Part of the Misshapes, a DJ trio consisting of two other males, Leigh has earned a name in the industry for her striking music taste and sultry fashion style. Often seen in leather, Leigh is overall edgy. To overset her dark hair and eye makeup, Leigh often chooses to play with colors. Yet, you’ll always find her in crop-top and skirt combos.
