Coachella 2014 - Style Inspiration

source

Coachella has always been one of my dream festivals. It combines lots of things I am enthusiastic about, specifically sun, palms, heat and, obviously, great deals of performances which are classified with the highest priority on my personal concert wish list.

It is also one of the most fashion-related festivals - and while it is not necessarily a bad thing - I am a fan of experimenting with my style at the festivals a little more than usual myself - it can be problematic. 

I suppose some people are just too desperate to show their inner hippie and it most cases just miss the point of what a music festival should be about. Go and see Tyler, The Creator's twitter for reference as it is not my intetion to elaborate on this subject (or the subject of wayy too common mindless cultural appropriation).

Despite all the irritating things about Coachella and its style-related aspect it remains a great source of inspiration.

I decided to focus on artists' outfits and I have chosen the most interesting (at least in my opinion) ones of the first weekend:

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.

Style Crush - Lorde

Lorde - talented teenage sensation of recent months caught my eye not only with her modern, eclectic music, but also with her great style. I know it's very soon to talk about her, given she's just starting her career, and her style may change. Moreover, she hasn't been in the spotlight for a long time, so there are not that many of her outfits documented. Nonetheless, I decided to write a post with her style analysis - she's without a doubt  an interesting figure, and I'm sensing some really cool influences in her fashion choices.

Style Crush - Sky Ferreira

So Sky's debut album is finally out. And despite recent troubles the singer found herself in, it seems to be quite a success (8.1 on Pitchfork and #8 on iTunes - so far). I'm happy for Sky as I genuinely like her. She may be not perfect, but she works hard trying not to fall into the numerous traps of show-business. Her music is a perfect pop with attitude, and she is one of very few people who can pull off grunge-inspired edgy chic. 

You're Not the One

While celebrating Night Time, My Time, let's see some of the Sky's best outfits:
