Since 1991, Lollapalooza has been exposing the masses to some of the best artists of our time. Over the weekend, musicians, models, and eager concert-goers donned their best festival attire and headed to Chicago's Grant Park to listen to a diverse lineup that included mainstays such as The Strokes, Cypress Hill, and Erykah Badu as well as newcomers Foxy Shazam, Warpaint, and Stars.
Not surprisingly with temps skyrocketing into the 80's, practical ensembles reigned supreme during the three music-filled days. These came in the form of easy rompers, louche sundresses, and cutoff jean shorts. And while most of the women we stopped were excited to see Lady Gaga perform (with Phoenix and Cut Copy running a close second and third respectively), there was no matching her over the top style. The "Bad Romance" singer's ongoing parade of iconic outfits included a black corset smeared in fake blood, a purple leopard print leotard, and a matching fishnet top and bottoms with star tassels (naturally).
Take a look at some of the more, erm, appropriate rock n' roll looks.
South by Southwest Street Style - Part Two
Austin's South By Southwest Music Festival is not only exhausting for the 2,000+ bands performing, but also the fans who are dedicated to running around to catch the next big act. Toward the end of the five day music marathon, the best dressed women on the street were choosing comfortable fashion over a super stylized look (i.e. flats in lieu of heels and simple accessories).
Which isn't to say that there wasn't a plethora of outfits that we'd die to have in our own closets. While vintage collectibles and cool boots dominated the first street style run, this time around Sixth Street was all about pretty sundresses and T-shirt toppers.
Take a tour of these rockin' looks and then head on over to our brother site Spinner for the full scope of SXSW 2010.
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.
