North Coast Music Festival Photos: The Scene
The North Coast Music Festival scene is all about good vibes and friendly attitudes. I get my strong belief in the promotion of positivity through fashion from my roots in the live music scene. I work so hard to bring positive energy into fashion because the fashion scene badly needs to become a warmer, more positive place. When iconic individuals at the top of the industry like Alexander McQueen, John Galliano and Christoph Decarnin implode under pressure it becomes painfully clear that fashion is often times a very unfriendly place even for those who’ve “made it.” There’s no reason it has to be that way.
To me the best part of fashion is the expression of individuality and creativity whether as a designer or as a consumer. The magic of a Rodarte dress or in the words of a brilliant socially-aware blogger like Tavi so clearly demonstrates that fashion can be a positive force. Fashion is all about having fun and expressing one’s inner self. It pains me that so many people use it as a way to put others down. That’s why I love street-style so much, because for me it’s all about celebrating individuality.
My point is that my perspective on fashion has been heavily informed by the live music scene at places like North Coast Music Festival. Not aesthetically but in the way that people treat each other – strangers – with kindness and respect. Most of the people who I’ve met in fashion are very warm people, but negative attitudes seem to be tolerated in fashion like in no other industry. Enough ranting about fashion, back to NCMF!
