South by Southwest 2010 Street Style

Austin's South By Southwest Music festival brings together some of the most creative people in the independent music scene. It is no surprise then, that these gods of rock - and the fans who love them - are some of the best-dressed people on Sixth Street. After scouring the scene, we found the reoccurring trends were vintage pieces, heightened hemlines, lots of cowboy boots, and some plenty cool shades.

After perusing the arty crowd (and finding out which bands they were keen to see), check in with our brother site, Spinner, for the full SXSW rundown.
