My Secret World - The Story of Sarah Records

Sarah Records is definitely one of my favourite independent record labels, so when some time ago I found out about the first trailer for My Secret World -The Sarah Records Doc I got really excited.

The documentary looks great, and I'm really grateful for all the effort the director Lucy Dawkins put in the production. It will feature interviews with the founders, members of bands (The Field Mice, Heavenly, Another Sunny Day, The Orchids, and many more), but also music critics and musicians inspired by the legendary label - like Jacob Grahams of The Drums.

Apparently the Sarah Records Film won't be the only treat for the fans. Recently it was announced that the first official book about the label is scheduled to be released in mid 2015. "Popkiss: The Life and Afterlife of Sarah Records" is written by Michael White and it already has its official artwork.

I absolutely adore sound, values and aesthetics of Sarah Records' bands, I'm not an expert yet, but I just can't wait to have more insight in the label's story.

This quick post is a small tribute to this great label. 

It's time to buy the cherry logo t-shirt.

Icon - Justine Frischmann

Justine Frischmann is everything - smart, edgy and rebellious, but also very enchanting, always with perfect haircut and at least a couple of britpop boys going crazy for her.

One of the Suede founding members, having parted with the band and Brett Anderson, she enjoyed massive success with her new group - Elastica. With sharp, disorted guitars, cocky lyrics and captivating stage presence Elastica was the second most played britpop band in US - after Oasis.

Justine's killer, nonchalant style is definitely worth revisiting. Also, after the My Mad Fat Diary inspiration post I really feel focusing more of the 90s and it's the perfect occasion to see their slightly different side. 

Prepare for lots of black.

Inspiration - My Mad Fat Diary

Since the second season of My Mad Fat Diary finishes tomorrow, and I got way more emotionally involved in this show than I planned to, I decided to make a quick post about the impeccable 90s style, relaying on this great TV series. 

Nowadays, it's safe to say that we're experiencing some kind of 90s revival. Not only in fashion, just think about bands like Jagwar Ma or Peace which channel the famous baggy madchester sound in their music. Not to mention reforming "britpop" bands.
Notice how the outfits don't really look dated, in fact you could probably easily buy half of them in Topshop. Fashion and music go in circles and I don't mind it at all.
Anyway, My Mad Fat Diary perfectly captures the moment of nostalgia for the 90s and revives their crazy, cool, and overall incredible style. One of my main inspirations for this post was, besides the show itself, this great tumblr: http://mmfdfashion.tumblr.com/

Let's go back to the July '96.
