[title]Neon Hitch, 25, singer-songwriter (neonhitch.net), Soho
Her personal style: “Tribal warrior. Being a singer definitely gives me the freedom to express myself through my attire. My stage costumes usually end up being daytime wear, too.”
Her inspiration: “Mostly my mum—she’s wild and makes her own clothes and jewelry. I also like making clothes myself because you can really customize things.”
Favorite stores: “Patricia Field (302 Bowery between Bleecker and E Houston Sts; 212-966-4066, patriciafield.com) is funky and fun. Plus, [owner and stylist Patricia Field] has hair like me. When I’m feeling sophisticated, I go to Oak (28 Bond St between Bowery and Lafayette St, 212-677-1293 • 208 North 8th St between Driggs Ave and Roebling St, Williamsburg, Brooklyn; 718-782-0521 • oaknyc.com) for high-fashion comfort wear. Opening Ceremony (35 Howard St between Broadway and Crosby St, 212-219-2688 • 1190–92 Broadway between 28th and 29th Sts, 646-695-5680 • openingceremony.us) has the most abstract clothes, and I love the Jeremy Scott finger glasses it carries. All three stores think outside the box!”
Favorite pampering resources: “My hairdresser and good friend is Chelsey Pickthorn (chelseypickthorn.com). We’ve gradually turned my hair into a fiery orange. I love it! I’m a member at Equinox (locations throughout the city; visit equinox.com), so I use the spa there.”
Her signature accessories: “Probably my nose ring. And I love headdresses!”
How she describes New York style: “Diverse! I love that everybody looks different. You could wear anything in NYC and not stand out.”
How her style has evolved: “It hasn’t really changed that much from when I was a kid—I’ve always been into wild, hippie clothes.”
