Best of List: Best Dressed Bands

With the end of the year come the best-of list. Throughout the month of December we will be posting our own twist on this hallowed tradition. First up, the three best dressed bands.

Jamie Hince is known by the Pitchfork crowd as the lead singer of The Kills. Fashion people know him as Kate Moss' boyfriend. Coincidence? The lady model has always had a thing for rock stars (her last date was Pete Doherty, formerly of Babyshambles and The Libertines). Mr. Hince prefers his trousers and ties on the waifish side as well.

Glass Candy. They were included in French sartorial authority Colette's last mix cd, alongside Hercules and Love Affair and other Italian discofied bands like Chromatics. But it was Karl Lagerfeld that used them in the Chanel Spring hauture couture show. Glass Candy is making the sexiest music out there. Life after Sundown may be this year's In the morning; it'll make you feel like you've taken a peyote tonic at a porny European disco.

The Last Shadow Puppets wear possibly the best peacoats you're likely to see on any music video this year in The Age of the Understatement. They look like they belong in a Slava Mogutin photo when they're riding Soviet war tanks. Plus, the video is directed by Romain Gavras, Costa Gavras' son, who's worked with sartorial heroes/french pop stars JUSTICE
