Maggie Lindemann champions an effortless grunge-glam look, embodying the anti-fashion attitude of the late 90s with a modern, rebellious edge (—a masterclass in high-low dressing for a New York Fashion Week event).
Lindemann’s aesthetic is always steeped in rock-and-roll heritage, but for the CLD NYFW Kickoff Event, she brought an unexpectedly chic polish to her signature style. The look is a perfect study in textural opposition: the delicate sensuality of a black satin or silk camisole paired with the grounded casualness of vintage-wash denim. The camisole, featuring thin spaghetti straps and a soft V-neckline, offers a subtle slip-dress feel, a foundational piece of ’90s evening wear that has been thoroughly remixed for the current moment.
The denim, a mid-to-light wash with a subtle flare or bootcut at the hem, is worn low on the hip, cinched with a simple black belt—a silhouette that screams authentic Y2K sensibility. The fit is relaxed, allowing the silk top to drape and flow, an intentional contrast to the typical hyper-structured evening attire. It’s an ensemble that is both accessible and deeply stylish.
The accessories solidify her fashion narrative. Lindemann layers multiple silver bracelets and cuffs, complementing the graphic black work of her arm tattoos, creating a unified, darkly romantic tableau. The most striking element, however, is the jewelry: a heavy silver chain necklace with a prominent pendant that rests on the skin just above the camisole’s neckline, channeling a clear early 2000s mood. Her look is completed by a small, structured shoulder bag—the quintessential baguette silhouette—and pointed-toe black boots or shoes that subtly peek out from beneath the long hem of the jeans.
