Boring as batshit to the overwhelming majority of the male population but DID find a few articles going back to 99 concerning a certain trio and their "relationship" to fashion/style & the cosmetic industry.

The Corrs
Music's dishy Irish siblings chat with Kristina Zimbalist about their personal style.
CENTER STAGE
* Andrea, 25: Long skirt, little top, and a cardigan-that's me. I've never been about tracksuits. I'm kind of a hippie, to a degree. I love Versace sandals, and my skirts are always long. I have this brilliant red Dries Van Noten skirt that has a big bustle at the back. I love Jean Paul Gaultier's skirts this season. And I have one skirt from a Sunset Strip shop in Los Angeles that's long and pink, by Munthe and Simonsen in Copenhagen.
* Sharon, 29: I'm definitely not a fashion victim, and tend to go for a classic look. Because I play the violin, I wear things that allow for freedom of movement, like a Donna Karan sequined halter or a Vivienne Tam top with pencil-thin straps. Lately I've been performing in Tracey Feith dresses. One has an Indian print in a strong purple with gold on it. Then I usually mix it up with something like rough ankle boots and black tights to make it a bit more funky for the stage.
* Caroline, 26: I play drums, so I tend to dress more sporty-looking. Definitely pants - but feminine, not too baggy. Betsey Johnson's got great pants. They're stretchy and figure-hugging, as well. And for tops I wear any designer - something very light.
FASHION PAST
* Sharon: We grew up in Dundalk, on the east coast of Ireland, and went to Catholic school, so we had to wear uniforms - these green skirts and blazers. It was horrible. We'd roll the skirt up so it was unbelievably short to attract the boys' school next door. And if you put Doc Martens with it, you were a bit cooler.
* Caroline: You know the band the Cure? How Robert Smith's hair went up in the air? When I was a kid, I dyed my hair black and had it up in the air, too. Then, you know, I came to my senses.
* Andrea: I was always kind of hippie-gothic growing up. I would wear skirts upon skirts-Indian skirts with ruffles and then one beneath it. And boots, always big boots. If there were ever hand-me-downs, I would get them last. By the time they got to me, they were pretty much a wreck.
READY FOR THEIR CLOSE-UP
* Andrea: When we performed on Saturday Night Live, it was great. Everyone was such a laugh on that show. I was wearing a Gaulteir autumn-brown silky-looking skirt that wraps around like a sarong and a sheerish Tommy Hilfiger top.
* Caroline: We went to the Versace fall show in Milan, and we really, really enjoyed it. I wore this pink Versace dress, plain, straight, very simple, with a big black feather coat.
* Sharon: I wore a long black Versace dress with a V-neck, a red lining, and a very high slit up the back. It had a tiny little red jacket with a red-and-black-fur collar around the top of it. It was quite vampish!
* Andrea: We're doing a festival in Paris called Solidays, and I'm going to wear a long full Armani skirt that has those belt bags that go around the top that look really cool, and a bound strapless top.
FOOT LOOSE
* Sharon: Shoes are my particular fetish. I love Manolo Blahniks: They’re simple enough, but I love the way they're so pretty and ornate. My favorite at the moment, though, is a Vera Wang peep-toe show with a sequined strap across the front. It's just like glass-it really catches the light.
* Andrea: I don't wear high heels. If it's for a particular shoot or for an awards ceremony, OK. But generally, I'm more about comfort.
* Caroline: I always wear runners. But never just regular runners. I've got a silver pair, maybe a white pair that would go with a white outfit. Something a bit zany.
