"   Photo: Luke Ford  Liela Moss&amp;#039;s fashion bona fides are impeccable\u2014the frontwoman for the British blues-rock band The Duke Spirit was the muse for Alexander McQueen&amp;#039;s collaboration with Target, after all. But the peroxide blonde, whiskey-throated singer (think a cross between Debbie Harry and PJ Harvey) admits that getting onstage looking as good as she does isn&amp;#039;t always an easy process. Although the number of outfits she packs for tour &amp;quot;starts high,&amp;quot; Moss notes that &amp;quot;most end up thrown around the room, and the result is usually three\u2014that allows for the sweaty first one to get clean!&amp;quot; For the band&amp;#039;s current tour opening for Jane&amp;#039;s Addiction (if you missed them, they&amp;#039;ll be back across America for their own string of headlining shows in June), Moss has been favoring flowing frocks by fellow Brit Emma Cook. She snapped a few photos to give ELLE.com readers a glimpse inside her suitcase. Outfit breakdown: A silk dress with lace print by Emma Cook and a silver ship ring by William Llewellyn Griffiths (above). The lace effect always reminds me of a skeleton X-ray from a distance, so I chose to wear it on the Jane&amp;#039;s [Addiction] tour. I brought this outfit on tour because: the show is theatrical and the vibes are a little Tim Burton at points, so I thought this fit with the atmosphere.    Photo: Luke Ford  My personal style is: a mix of elegant, with some kind of goth-y joke woven in there too! If this outfit were one of my songs, it would be: &amp;quot;Bodies&amp;quot; from the new album, Bruiser. The body shape is a focus, but an ethereal otherness comes through. The X-ray thing adds even more to the thoughts on mortality and earthly bodies I suppose, too. I always pack: my Phillip Lim leather shorts\u2014even for winter in New York City! You&amp;#039;d never catch me onstage wearing: high heels. How does Beyonce do it? I&amp;#039;d be on my ass before the first chorus. My pre-tour shopping spot is: Kokon To Zai in Soho London, Emma Cook&amp;#039;s studio, and Antonio Berardi HQ. The best on-the-road purchase I ever made was: my Llewellyn jewelry.
