Fans of Jimmy Century

FOJC had a hotsy totsy avant-garde experience performing down the catwalk at Charity Fashion Show 2010 held at Stanford University. Extra special thanks to director Thom Scher for having us! Check out the reviews below from our favorite fashionistas…

REVIEW FROM MICHELE GATES OF FASHIONABLE NEWS:FASHIONABLE FUN SAN FRANCISCO & SF EXAMINER – “The show began with an amazing performance by band Fans of Jimmy Century. They rocked the runway with their strong vocals, instrumental prowess and powerful onstage presence. The lead singer Alicia Perrone had a punk elegance and worked the runway beautifully. In regards to her outfit, she said she was “channeling Antonio Banderas’ Puss ‘N Boots from the movie Shrek. Since we were playing such a spectacular fashion event, I thought I would be well-suited to appear as “the fashion risk” of the evening.” Alicia wore a creative outfit of knit basics decorated with sparkle foam moustaches, a moustache necklace from New York Couture’s Fairy Tale Collection, a modified black hat and funky high platforms. “My comfort zone are moustaches, fake foil cigarettes, bohemian beatniks, black velvet paintings and as many colors as I can possibly mash up on the body and face, so that’s generally been my inspiration so far. The more avant-garde and riskier things get, the more comfortable I feel for sure. The only thing missing was my sword!”  After the great performance by Fans of Jimmy Century, the evening could have easily ended on a fulfilling note, however the highly anticipated runway show was still to come.

REVIEW FROM THE BAY AREA FASHIONISTA – “The event started off with Fans of Jimmy Century taking the stage, and let me tell you one thing– this girl can work a runway like no one’s business. No matter what kind of music you’re into, there in no denying that the vocalist Alicia Perrone has an incredible set of pipes on her! The rest of the band was great also, but since I’m no music guru I’ll leave it at that.”
