The Evolution of Fashion In Music

FASHION IMÜSIC Imagine your favorite singers minus the glitz; would it affect your opinion of them? Would their popularity ratings fall? Would their sales be affected? Apart from singing/playing songs - bands and musicians also advertise and encourage fashion, hairstyles and fads - either subconsciously or consciously, it winds up effecting thousands of fans and viewers. 195 Rok u Rojl Rock i Rojl Scarves tied around the neck Cropped cardigan Full skirts pinched at the waist to emphasise the waist and bust Throughout the 1950s, young women's clothing was also influenced by the rock'n' roll craze. Full skirts in bright colours become popular for dancing and skirts and pants were pinched in at the waist to emphasise the waist and bust. Short ankle socks, scarves tied around the neck and cropped cardigans were also popular. 1960's CUUTURE Ethnical-inspired looks Tight bell-bottoms Throughout the 60s and the 70s, music and fashion complemented each other. People started to travel a lot more in the 1960s, where everything was free. Everything was supposed to be explored, which lead to interest and curiosity for other cultures. This led to a swarm of new fashion styles, for instance ethnical looks, such as The Oriental look and African/Middle Eastern looks. REBELLION SUBVERSION ANARCHY 1970s Mohair sweater Bondage trousers Combat boots Vivienne Sex Pistols Westwood In the late 1970s, Vivienne Westwood's relationship with Sex Pistols manager Malcolm McLaren helped define fashion's punk era. Working from their infamous shop on the Kings Road, Westwood designed clothes inspired by rebellion, subversion and anarchy. Due to their shared reactionary vision, Westwood began to design for the band and together they established a cultural legacy that has lived on ever since. 1980's Michael Jackson-inspired fashion: Leather biker jackets, skinny jeans, and black moccasins Jean-Paul Gaultier Madonna Arguably one of the most iconic garments of pop history, we all know Madonna's conical bra was designed by Jean Paul Gaultier. Symbolising feminine strength and sexual liberation, the style became a definite and signature moment in both parties'careers. Gaultier went on to design for the 1990 Blonde Ambition tour, and more recently for Madonna's MDNA tour last year. grunge 1990's Flannel shirt Worn-out jeans Scuffed sneakers George Michael Supermodels Although George wasn't the first singer to put a supermodel in a music video, his 1990"Freedom!" video, including some of the biggest names in catwalk history, was a momentous moment for fashion and music. Directed by David Fincher, it starred Cindy Crawford, Christy Turlington, Naomi Campbell, Tatjana Patitz and Linda Evangelista. today BLACK &WHITE casual & destroyed Black leather Leggings jacket Designer tee Spiked heels Artists like Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Chris Brown and many more are constantly breaking barriers in fashion. Because of the risks they take, I often see many imitations and similarities in how young people look and dress today. Many girls are rocking blazers, loose fitted tops and more colors. Another fun style is the funky destroyed look.
