“Nasty Gal is not a brand for wallflowers,” says Sophia Amoruso, founder and owner of the 10-year-old teen fashion label. Which explains the collaboration with rock icon Courtney Love: “She has such a singular style. … She’s provocative, she’s uninhibited. I would say we’re a provocative brand.”
The 18-piece “Love, Courtney” collection, a first for the label and musician, goes on sale on Jan. 14 and features ’90s grunge-inspired items, including what the first-time designer calls a floaty kimono ($188), bra with a choker ($48), and head-to-toe lace bodysuit ($108)—all drawn from her days as lead singer for the group Hole and as wife and muse of Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain. “It’s modern but slightly nostalgic,” Love said on a recent podcast.
