Page "Stevie Nicks" Paragraph 112

Stevie Nicks is known for her mystical image, her billowing chiffon skirts, shawls, layers of lace and long blonde hair.

Margi Kent, a designer from California, has worked with Nicks since the 1970s to perfect her style.

Perhaps the most famous part of Nicks's wardrobe is her platform boots.

Nicks has worn suede platform boots in various colors, usually black, cream, tan or maroon in almost all of her performances since 1975.

Standing at, Nicks has stated she felt a little ridiculous standing next to the much taller Mick Fleetwood.

For this reason she developed a penchant for platform boots.

" Even when platforms went completely out of style, I kept wearing them because I didn't want to go back to being in heels ", she told Allure magazine in 1995.

Over the years, Nicks has developed a style which she calls her " uniform ", which is best exemplified by the outfit worn on the cover of Fleetwood Mac's Rumours, perhaps the base inspiration for many of her costumes.

Another trademark of Nicks's is a Dickens-style gentleman's formal top hat, which she began wearing in the late 1970s.

During the early 1980s she wore Renaissance poets ' velvet berets with plume feathers ( as shown in the vintage photo used on the cover of her March 2007 CD release Crystal Visions – The Very Best of Stevie Nicks ).

In the late 1980s and early 1990s, she wore fashionable ladies hats on stage and to this day, often still sports a black top hat adorned with giant plumes.
