...is Friday's theme:   
      
   ROCK ’N’ ROLL, the art world, Hollywood and fashion have swiped   
   inspiration from biker style so often that it’s a wonder there is   
   anything left to purloin. This has been the case in every two-wheeled   
   decade, and rarely more so than now, when the hip artist du jour   
   Richard Prince seems to have motorcycle culture firmly in the pincers   
   of his ironic quotations, and style avatars like Kate Moss have taken   
   to kitting themselves up like Hells Angels mamas.   
      
   An inexhaustible trove of style since Brando used a leather biker   
   jacket to butch his way to movie-stardom, biker chic seems all but   
   ubiquitous lately, from the “Wild Bunch” streets of Williamsburg,   
   Brooklyn, to Topshop and the Hannah Montana tour, where Miley Cyrus   
   signals the tough-chick lurking inside every tween when she puts on a   
   leather biker vest.
