Adam Lambert: “I think there’s a beauty in tacky fashion”

Yet another reason to love Adam Lambert – he recognises that the tacky look can be pretty cool.

The lovely Mr Lambert opened up to EW.com about his style, past and present.

“I think [on Idol] I was really attracted to flashier, tackier fashion,” he said. “I think there’s a beauty in tacky fashion. Even some of the pop performers of the past decade, it’s real sparkly and flashy and I was trying to do my best homage to the late ‘70s glam rock idea, with the rhinestones and feathers, stuff that was as out-there and ridiculous as possible.

“I’ve kind of started to tone it down in the respect that [my look] is not as flashy now. It’s still different and avant-garde, but it’s a bit more chic; a bit more designer as opposed to Vegas.”

Adam sure knows what he’s talking about – could a career in fashion be on the cards?

“I’d love to work on my own fashion line, accessory line, shoes or something,” he shares. “[But] obviously right now I’m focused on my music.”
