Think back a few years: adolescent girls were running around in plaid skirts, pig tails, midriff-baring tops, and enough glitter to have anyone believe they had had a bad run in with a pack of angry pixies. Who was responsible for this? Definitely not their parents or teachers, no, it was a few former Mouseketeers. With the release of her "...Baby One More Time" video, Britney Spears immediately sparked a passion in young girls to become rebellious Catholic schoolgirls... or at least dress like them. Christina Aguilera burst on to the scene shortly after, and low-rise jeans suddenly became so low it's a wonder how anyone sat down in them without half undressing themselves. This is just one example of how a few musicians can spark a trend in fashion.
Musicians, especially since the 1900s, have had a strong impact on what is considered cool and trendy. Their eccentricity beautifully complements the extreme nature of high fashion, and a better pairing is difficult to find. Designers make the clothing, musicians make the statement, together they create looks that define generations.
With this blog, I'd like to bring to you some of the most exciting fusions between music and fashion today, no matter what the genre. Hip-hop, pop, rock, punk, goth, jazz... whatever is most enticing at the moment. Enjoy.
