Just a quick one

I noticed that this blog doesn't fit on one page. You will see the blog in its entirety if you click 'older posts', at the bottom right of the page. Watch this space, I've got something prit-ay special in store.

"The music scene really influences fashion. That's always been an English thing. It's English Gent but it's a Rock 'n' Roll look."



So I've realised that this blog is veering more towards a female audience, however I created this for both genders. So fellas, get a load of this video if you need some rock 'n' roll inspiration.

Which Bands/Musicians Influence Your Style?

It is indisputable that music has an impact on 'street fashion'. This is emphasised in the video (below) where Alexa discusses street fashion and her style inspirations. It is my aim to highlight the connection between fashion and music and how a person's taste in music is reflected by the way they dress.

So, which bands and artists do you believe have an impact on your dress sense?

If you are new to blogger, or you are having difficulty generating comments then I will be a doll and quickly explain how to do so. Below each of my posts is a blue hyperlink with an image of a pencil alongside it. Once clicked, this will present you with a comment box with a button underneath, labelled 'publish commment'. Simples, right?

Tell us your music/fashion influences.

Alexa Chung: "Do smell it, don't not wash it."



Alexa Chung is a muse to many fashion designers because of her distinctive personal style. She frequently appears on best dressed lists, is a regular cover girl for Vogue, Elle and Harper's Bazaar and is often seen in the front row at fashion shows. She is a role model to many young fashionistas and when you walk down your high-street you will always see somebody who imitates her style. This video will help you gain futher insight to her style choice.

British Model and TV presenter, Alexa,discusses her adventures in style. Alexa is a connoisseur of vintage fashion, experimenting in wonderful attire that is edgy, quirky and unconventional. Style that is ugly but so beautiful at the same time, and she is an excellent example of the old cliche, "it's not what you wear, it's how you wear it."

In this video Alexa explains how she opts for sheepskin jackets, children's old duffle pea coats. Her inspiration ties in with music and bands, and what makes her style so distinctive is that she draws inspiration from both male and female musicians. Some of her idols include: Keith Richards, Patti Smith and Alison Mosshart (from the band 'The Kills').
