10 Great Musicians Turned Models

Great Lake Swimmers Tony Dekker Christopher OwensMr. Porter | Saint Laurent

Given how pretty, stylish and charismatic the average indie rock or underground music star is, it's really no surprise that so many modeling agencies, designers and fashion photographers want to work with them.

The latest rocker to be lured in front of the camera and onto the runway is Great Lake Swimmers frontman Tony Dekker, who donned a series of designer blazers that made him look like the most dapper man in Deadwood to play a song for high-end fashion retailer Mr. Porter.

Evening the score a bit, ex-Girls singer Christopher Owens has returned from his own dalliances with fashion as a model for a Saint Laurent Paris campaign to release his debut solo album, Lyssandre.

With this cosmic exchange fresh in our minds, we've been spending a fair amount of time thinking about our favorite indie musicians turned models. Here are 10 of them.

As everyone knows Rock and Roll music was a rebellious and defiant movement countering the established popular musical norms during the 50's, 60's, and on into the present day. Courtney Love has a place in this movement and whether you like her music or not has persevered through greater life trials than most of the readers here (myself included) could endure. Yet she still makes music. Enjoy that which you will and help other's do the same.

Courtney had always been a tramp. You can dress her up, put her in a fancy house, big bank account but she will always be a tramp.

Another good thing she does is slam rehearsal studio doors locking out bands that are trying to load-in during a rain storm. Just slight paranoia.

She did have something to do with Kurts death, he took the easy way out, his other choice was to stay with her.

I do not need to read this story, because I know what her job was (and still secretly is) She was/is a drunken sex worker, of course. She has the mouth for it.
