U2, The Rolling Stones, Marilyn Manson, Courtney Love and P.J. Harvey – these are just some of the bigwigs in Rock and Roll that designer Todd Lynn has dressed.
At least, he used to be. In 2006, his menswear collection was launched and it showcased the easy, dark and beautiful rock and roll cool that his music industry heavy hitters have long appreciated.
Will we see similar themed clothes on his Spring 2009 collection? Check out what the “music industry’s well-kept secret” has in store for us:
Todd Lynn did a lot of eye-trickery for this collection. Check out this first outfit – it looks like a shorts-suit but it’s actually just one whole piece which looked layered.
Rocker glam’s definitely the first thing that comes to mind when you take a look at this outfit.
An edgy Marc Jacobs look is something that will make you steal the show at any event that you’ll attend. I absolutely love that top!
The color of that one-buttoned jacket is dominant throughout the collection. And nothing screams rockstar more than a shiny black pair of pants!
This ensemble gives an edgy feel to the casual jumpsuit.
There’s definitely a lot of workmanship involved in Todd Lynn’s clothes. Case to point, this futuristic-looking ensemble!
The designer’s outfits are nothing if not wearable – and this multi-layered dress is proof of that – it’s simply fab!
Again, we’re seeing a lot of rockstar glam pieces which is Todd Lynn’s signature design in the first place. I think that this leather overcoat is bound to be a classic!
You can’t deny the uniqueness of this pair of white pants – the flared look is actually made from a series of pleats around the legs!
I don’t think I can pull off the no-bra look, lol… but I am so in love with this pair of pants – and the jacket’s so high fashion!
Don’t you just love the combination of the colors on that zipped-up top?
I just love the combination of feminine and masculine themes for that crisp, black top – and the pair of pants just blend well with it!
I think that this ensemble can easily be turned from casual daywear to evening glam.
I’m sure Madonna will feel so at home in this little black number!
The design of that swirly top is simply unique – and the pair of pants fit nicely, too.
This fab dress with the sheer hoodie is so – rock on!
If there’s a rock and roll Dolce & Gabbana look – this is exactly it!
This Goth inspired long black dress is not for the faint-hearted.
This V-necked black dress with the middle slit is something that’s ultra-wearable and chic!
Proving that he didn’t veer away from the Spring theme, Todd Lynn used some influence of nature in this unique cocktail dress.
Before ending, let’s take a look at what Sarah Mower of Style.com had to say about the Todd Lynn collection:
Objectively, all that work was hard to achieve and technically accomplished. Subjectively, though? There’s something about the tight, seamed, carapace shapes that screams “hard to wear,” and the mood seemed too gloomy for a summer season.
Well, there may have been odd pieces which are hard-to-wear, but I think that the designer’s just out to prove that his clothes can be worn if you’re in the mood to be a rocker-chick during any season!

Well I’m impressed………….he ROCKS!!!
Todd lynn uses real fur in his collections…
Boycott the greedy selfish man.
Mel,
Some of these clothes are lovely but yeah I’m with you on the no fur thing!
Thank you….
You’d think that nowadays they’d have more sense wouldn’t you! especially as more and more people are developing a humane attitude towards animals! Fake fur looks just the same!
If we all stick together and let him know, maybe he’ll stop using real fur….his designs are lovely…but I certainly won’t be buying any or his clothes…until he stops using real fur.
When will fashion designers start realising that fur is NOT fashion! I don’t care how good their designs might be but I wouldn’t support ANYONE who supports and fuels the fur industry!
Mel and Michele,
The problem baiscally lies in the fact that while a lot of us are voicing out against fur, there are still plenty of women who would buy these clothes. And that’s the sad truth. Fake fur DOES look just the same. I just wish they’d wake up to the inhumanity. It’s about time. I mean haven’t we done enough damage?!
Ladies, I think we should all stick together on this subject….FUR IS OLD FASHIONED AND WE HAVE NO RIGHT TO TAKE WHAT’S NOT OURS!!! please feel free to email the man himself and tell him your views?

We all know that there are more women out there who choose not to wear fur now than before. The women who still wear real fur really need educating! they need to watch some undercover footage on these ghastly fur farms and the horrific abuse that our poor animals have to endure. I watched one and believe me, the images you see, stick with you forever…
If you wanted to see the video (wouldn’t advise though) or forward it on to others or to women who you know, you can find it on Peta…
Mel,
We should absolutely mail him. I feel like I’m part of a revolution. :)
Lets start a revolution! we can first start by emailing him and letting him know that we won’t put up with this!!! and after all, we are the consumers aren’t we!!! he has to listen to us!!!
Would be good if we all lived in America, we could start a protest!
Mel,
Oh yes that would be wonderful! :)
I’ve emailed him telling him my views on him using real fur.
You know, I believe that if he actually watched undercover footage of an animal being skinned alive, he’d not only throw up, he wouldn’t have the heart to use real fur again.
Lets all mail him (see above for the address provided) and forward it on to everyone we know…lets spread the word!-
TODD LYNN SKINS ANIMALS ALIVE….ALL IN THE NAME OF FASHION
Mel,
I just emailed him too. That’s two of us for a great start!
Let’s do our best to start a revolution then!! If we want to change something, lets spread the word! the more people know about him, the better….
Let’s make a start and email him (on the above ad) and pass it on!!
Let’s do it for the animals….!!!
That’s great news Sheila,
What we need to do now is forward his email ad onto everyone you know! we need to spread the word!
