Payless ShoeSource announced the launch of their new Brash line of shoes and accessories for teens, and they’ve partnered with VersaEmerge singer Sierra Kusterbeck to serve as the face of the brand. Many of the products are already available through Payless’ webstore and the first collection will hit physical stores on August 9th. Prices range from $6 for hair accessories to $50 for boots. The line will later include beauty products starting at $3.

Brash is meant for girls who have more of a unique and alternative sense of style. Explaining their choice of Sierra Kusterbeck as spokeswoman, Payless CEO LuAnn Via says “Sierra is a Brash Girl and she embodies the brand’s personality — she has a unique tough-yet-girlie style, is tremendously creative with her music and fashion and is a perfect picture of Brash style. We are thrilled to have found Sierra and believe she is a great fit to help us inspire girls to create their own Brash looks.”

Sierra has previously expressed her love of Jeffrey Campbell shoes which are much more expensive, but she appreciates the lower price point of the Brash line. “I love what Payless is doing in general to democratize fashion and this is the first cool, edgy line that’s affordable, which is great for teens. For them, affordable is the best word ever!,” Sierra says. “I often have girls approach me and ask ‘where did you get that?’ and now I can say ‘at Payless,’ which for me is really powerful because the Brash brand can help them achieve the bold style they are after because of its affordability and accessibility. My favorites in the fall line are the Ollie combat boots and the Josie peep-toe wedges — they are sick styles and I wear them a lot and with many different outfits. The beauty items like the eye shadow roller-ball and the lip stain are also amazing.”

In the promotional photo above, Sierra holds a pair of Ollie Plaid Cuff Boots with a rose earring and a feather earring used as boot charms. On her wrist is one of the 3-pack of animal scruchies.

Porcelain Black

Porcelain Black's "This Is What Rock N Roll Look Like" music video

In her “This Is What Rock N Roll Look Like” music video, Porcelain Black bursts into the school cafeteria wearing the leather-look Marlies Dekkers Cafe Society Padded Demi Bra with a pair of high-waisted briefs like this pair from Soma Intimates. She kicks a student wearing a pair of vertebrae boots from Dsquared‘s Fall 2010 collection. Since it’s summer, I can’t find any feathery coats like Porcelain’s that are currently available, but during the right season you can buy similar coats from stores like Topshop.

Hayley Williams in Doc Martens

Paramore appeared at the CMT Music Awards in Nashville last night, where they introduced The Band Perry during the show.

Hayley wears the sheer Chiffon Camisole from American Apparel ($26.00) over a black strapless bra. There is no image of the black tank on their site, but it is currently available. Her skirt is also from American Apparel, it is the Chiffon Double-Layered Full Length Skirt ($58.00). Hayley took the chain off of an old purse and wore it as her belt. She is wearing a pair of work boots from Dr. Martens. It is hard to see them clearly, but it looks to be their classic 8-eye 1460 style ($115.00), probably in black smooth leather.

Hayley’s oversized cross necklace, clunky boots, and chain belt make her all-black ensemble look very gothic, but she avoids looking too dark with her brightly colored hair and fresh-faced makeup look.
