'Style is knowing who you are, what you want to say, and not giving a damn." - Gore Vidal
In this summer festival season, our female musical muses are showing their true colors on open air stages around the world. While Cyndi Lauper once lamented "Somebody did complain to me and tell me that my clothes were so loud they couldn't hear me sing," we beg to differ. These clothes serve to further propel the spirit behind the music and the creativity behind each performer. Imbued with color and confidence, they are easy inspiration for any girl who just wants to have fun...............
THE REBEL: Geisha-inspired Karen O of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs is known for swallowing microphones. Her stage costumes that are as loud as her actions.
THE TOMBOY: Gwen Stefani rocks the punk prep, with a collared skirt and yet studded belt and twisted braids.
Sexy Cat: Lily Allen has been sporting fairy-like eye shadow, tight spandex and flowing scarves and tops. A lil innocent, a lil loose, a lil sex kitten...
All American Southern Belle: Jenny Lewis in red, white and blue. Like her acoustic odes, her fashion sense is sweeter than a Southern peach.
Retro Rock: Katy Perry has been styling fitting doll-like retro dresses - full of bows, pock-a-dots and pink pink and more pink. This style is best-suited for curvy frames and girls who truly belive they are made of sugar and spice and all things nice.
Avante Garde Punk: It don't matter if you are man, woman, black or white; Grace Jones is an icon for challenging any and all stereotypes. This time round, she's taking one of the most famous symbols of rebellion - the Mohawk - and taking it to new heights, slicking back the texture, and pushing it down so it is in your face and stunning. Now if we recommend to try this at home is another story....
