Christian Joy

Using found articles and occasionally eschewing thread and print for glue and marker pens she has influenced contemporary fashion with punk and DIY stylings.

[3] As the band's fame grew so did Joy's reputation and, in September 2002, she mounted a solo show Brat Style during NYC Fashion week.

Joy asked associates to write a description of a female being and then designed a costume representing each definition, including one of an alien goddess gown with a whip.

[12] Joy received her first major press in the June–July 2003 issue of Nylon magazine in a feature article - 'Even Odds' written by Johanna Lenander - on her Karen O wardrobe.

[13] In July 2004 Joy and her designs were a key element of a New York Times Sunday magazine feature about the growing influence of Indie Rock on fashion.

[19] In February 2010 Christian Joy was featured on the cover of Time Out New York's, Most Stylish New Yorkers [20] Stop the Virgens Press: T-Magazine, "The Look of Karen O's Psycho Rock Opera" by Katie Chang, Photos by Ioulex[21] Do Androids Dream of Electric Shrimp?
