Festival style

Before you - the updated format of the heading "Trend". Here, as before, we pay attention to trends that influence our appearance every six months, but we reflect on them in the context of more significant trends - trends. In the new material "Festival Style"we are talking about the connection of fashion and music and how the style of music festivals affects the spring-summer collections of designers.

In recent years, at major music festivals, people from the world of fashion come together no less than at Fashion Week in New York and Milan. Models Rosie Huntington Whiteley, Carly Kloss and Hanne Gabi Odiele listen to their favorite rock bands on Bonnaroo, Coachella and Glastonbury, while street-style photographers shoot trendsetter singer Lana Del Rey or M.I.A and visitors to their concerts. The latter take care of practicality rather than the beauty of their bows: most often they can be seen in stretched T-shirts and torn denim shorts in combination with raincoats and rubber boots. The relaxed appearance of music festival visitors inspires designers. So, many brands, from Acne and D & G to Topshop Unique and Versace, are released on the catwalk of models in cropped tops and mini shorts. Guillaume Henri from Carven and Olivier Teskens from Theyskens' Theory show dresses with floral prints combined with voluminous parks. And jackets and denim shirts flash in the collections of Christopher Caine, Miuccia Prada and Stella McCartney.

The period of popularization of significant festivals like Isle Of Wight and Woodstock came at the end of the 60s and 70s- fashion was then largely determined by subcultures. Hippies who listened to Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix tied their heads with scarves of bright colors, dressed in sweeping sundresses and wore ethnic ornaments. Rockers, who loved AC / DC and Kiss, preferred rivet denim vests and some leather pants. The country style was also influential, giving us wide-brimmed hats and fringe. Perhaps the mixing of these styles at music festivals and the need to adapt to the natural conditions, that is, to wear raincoats and rubber boots, gave rise to the modern festival style.

Trends of the festival style

The style of music festivals is not interpreted by designers in a straightforward way: a model in a cotton sarafan, leather jacket, bandana with a bag with a fringe and in Hunter boots on the catwalk is a rarity. However, the festival style creates its own trends. Among them are cropped T-shirts and T-shirts with a pair of mini-shorts, dresses with floral prints and denim items, which are in abundance at PrimaveraSound and the Poster Picnic. Harder things with shoes. As Style.com noted a couple of years ago, fashionistas no longer wear rubber boots, replacing them with ankle boots on a small heel, like Acne and Alexander Wang.

Crop Tops

This season shortened tops, the peak of which fell in the eighties and nineties, more than ever. Bustier is at Aquilano.Rimondi, Dolce & Gabbana and Proenza Schouler. And the shortened T-shirts and T-shirts most loved by the visitors of music festivals showed Acne, Betsey Johnson and Charlotte Ronson: brands recommend combining them with high-waisted skirts, well, fashion festivals can wear them with anything - on top of dresses on the floor or with wide trousers.

Short shorts

People who come to the festivals prefer one of the most comfortable and practical summer types of clothing - denim shorts, which are aged and covered with rivets by hand. There are a lot of short shorts that will be an ideal pair of cropped tops, in the spring-summer collections. With Antonio Marras and Costume National, they are more like melting, while with Clements Ribeiro and Rachel Roy they look like pajamas.

Mini dresses with colorful prints and short jumpsuits.

Visitors to the festivals have always had a passion for ultra-short dresses made of cotton and chiffon with colorful prints, from simple flowers to funny ones with cupcakes or typewriters, and partly in vogue to wear them with rough shoes. Designers support them: dresses, in which you can go to a concert by Morrissey or The Kills, show Ashish, Moschino and Rebecca Minkoff. In this and the upcoming seasons, you should make a discount on the length and look at the dresses in the floor - like Blugirl, for example. Overalls coexist with dresses at festivals: most often they are made of jeans, but there are also printed cotton, like Richard Chai LOVE and Tess Giberson this season.

Denim

Things from denim, once equally loved by rockers and hippies, flash from the season to season on the catwalks. In the collections of this season, a special place is occupied by denim jackets and shirts - gray, like Diesel Black Gold, light blue, like Maison Martin Margiela, and with embroideries, like PPQ. Ordinary jeans are included in the show quite rarely: the exception is baggy and artfully torn jeans Fashion East, in which the POP editor Elena Perminova got into all the street fashion blogs.

Raincoats, light parks and raincoats

Rain is unlikely to spoil live Metronomy or Radiohead. Nevertheless, outerwear, protecting from the rain, a pair of rubber boots has become one of the main signs of Coachella and Glastonbury. Raincoats, light parks and raincoats prudently included in their collections Rag & Bone, Trussardi and Y-3. All the street fashion blogs.

Wide brimmed hats and headbands

Hats with wide brim not only make the bow bohemian, but also protect the head well from the sun's rays. This season, the huge striped Prada hats are replaced by neat straw or textile hats like Rachel Comey and Paul Smith. Headbands, which we described in detail, and handkerchiefs, which visitors of festivals easily transform into turbans, go hand in hand with them: Peter Jensen, for example, did the same.

Style of music festivals in the cinema

In films, the festival style appears more often in two cases: if they talk about the era of the seventies, as “Almost Famous,” or directly about music festivals, as “Music tied us up”.

In film "Zabriski Point" Michelangelo Antonioni hijacked student Mark, dressed from head to toe, and secretary Daria in a modest green dress walking in the desert and making love.

 

Autobiographical picture "Almost famous" Cameron Crow tells the story of a young correspondent for Rolling Stone magazine, who goes on tour with the rock band Stillwater, and group wearing a flowered dress, cropped tops and patterned shorts.

Film about the sexual revolution"The dreamers" Bernardo Bertolucci is famous for actually sex scenes in the bathroom with Eva Green, Louis Garrell and Michael Pitt, however, the style of the main character, Isabella, who wore velvet dresses with wide sleeves and cat-eye glasses, does not remain unidentified.

Model and muse of Andy Warhol Edie Sedgvik, who wore leopard coats, crocheted dresses and massive earrings, in the film "I seduced Andy Warholplayed by actress Sienna Miller, known for her love of boho style.

"Through the universe" director Julie Taymor is a love story of two young men, Lucy and Jude, from 1968 who participate in the political movement, go to concerts and wear loose shirts and denim.

In a textbook about relationships and their break "500 days of Summer" the hero of Joseph Gordon-Levitt is a fan of Morrissey and the Pixies, and the heroine, Zooey Deschanel, wears flowered dresses.

The main characters of the film"Music has tied us" - pop singer Adam and frontwomen punk band Morello, who both love and hate each other. The guys are handcuffed at a music festival. The suits fit the occasion: he is in a stretched T-shirt, black jeans and a sheepskin coat, and she is in a tattered white T-shirt with a leather vest and a mini skirt.
