" The Ramones&amp;#039; edgy downtown aesthetic was reflected in their scruffy-cool ensembles as much as in their music. Those looking to channel the seminal punk band&amp;#039;s iconic look are in luck: Drummer Marky Ramone has collaborated with Tommy Hilfiger on a new Rock Scene fashion line, named for the `70s-and-`80s music magazine. We phoned Marky Ramone to get the scoop on the collection, which debuts in February and features stencil lettering, slim silhouettes, and other hallmarks of rock `n&amp;#039; roll chic. How long have you known Tommy?  About 23 years. I was in a band with his brother Andy Hilfiger and their brother Billy, who passed away. Tommy would come by and hang out at our rehearsals when he was just starting out, selling clothes out of the trunk of his car. From then on, he was always a big fan of the Ramones.  Give me a rundown of the line.  There are T-shirts with the Rock Scene logo and really cool images from the CBGB era. The leather jacket has a soft feel with really cool stud work that&amp;#039;s tasteful. It isn&amp;#039;t overdone. The pants are a lighter blue and have studs on one pocket. I didn&amp;#039;t want it over-the-top. I wanted it so that anyone can wear this stuff.  How would you describe your personal style these days?  I like wearing black. I like wearing tight jeans. I was never into the baggy thing. I continue to wear leather jackets. In rock and punk now, a lot of the bands are wearing the tight look. Even in suits, the tighter look is in. I always thought baggy clothes got snagged easily. What up-and-coming bands are you listening to?  I have a show on Sirius XM and I keep up with the new stuff I like. I like the Gallows from London\u2014they&amp;#039;re really England&amp;#039;s premier new punk band. I like a band called the Riverboat Gamblers. And I like Useless ID. I like this girl band the Dollyrots. I always try to give new bands a chance on my show even if they&amp;#039;re not signed.  How have the Ramones influenced fashion?  Bands are still wearing leather jackets and jeans. But that started with Marlon Brando, James Dean, and Elvis Presley and continued all the way through the biker movies of the `60s, and to the Ramones. And then, of course, the English punk scene picked up on the look and would copy it, wearing pins on their leather jackets and buying Converse sneakers and Levi&amp;#039;s. It&amp;#039;s really just a traditional American look. Why do you think it still resonates?  Any fan can look the way you do in a leather jacket and jeans and sneakers and not have to spend $3,000 or $4,000 on a custom-made outfit. They can enjoy it without having to feel like they&amp;#039;ve gone bankrupt. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
