What entails being fashionable? Is it a specific outfit? Is it a lifestyle choice? And who decides? I think for most of us the beauty about fashion is that it is within us. And as we have the ability to change and grow, so does our sense of style. Take Adam Duritz. The Counting Crows frontman has been supporting a follicle explosion for years. And as as his locks continue to grow; so does his superstardom. This year the Counting Crows have a new album of covers dropping that not only pays homage to stars of old, but also new stars that Duritz feels will be the next generation of musical light. Nothing screams fashionable more than sharing the spotlight.
Next on stage: Rock -n- Roll Camp for Girls in Portland, OR. These fashionistas help mold the girls of tomorrow from the inside out. Put the magazine and the airbrushing away. For one week a year, little ladies pick up a new instrument, and gather with some like-minded muses to create a model tune. In the wings: the WHIP IT soundtrack. No need for parameters or rules. You can't be confined; find your inner spirit. Look to the Roller Derby mavens for some enlightenment. For the encore: Steed Lord. Iceland's trio of fire pushes the limits of fashion through dress, art, photography and film.
Be bold. Let what is inside shine through to the outside. You never know what fashion you may inspire.
