A critical component of understanding Colby’s fashion is her career as a burlesque performer (formerly with the group "Burlesque Le Moustache"). Burlesque fashion relies heavily on the concept of "the reveal" and theatrical glamour.
This room is painted the color of rust and denim. Here, the glamour of the boudoir meets the grit of the picker’s barn. Danielle’s everyday style—what she wears while hunting for rusty relics on American Pickers —is a masterclass in functional vintage. High-waisted Levi’s jeans, cuffed at the ankle. Button-up work shirts in chambray or plaid, often tied at the waist. Brogues or steel-toed boots. Aviator or cat-eye sunglasses. And always, a bandana or a wide-brimmed hat. This is the style of a Rosie the Riveter who has a date at the burlesque hall after her shift. It honors the strong women of the WWII era: capable, strong, and stylish without sacrificing practicality. The centerpiece of this room is a pair of faded, grease-stained overalls worn with a red lipstick that matches her hair—a perfect metaphor for Danielle’s worldview: you can get your hands dirty and still be a work of art.
