20 Fab Fashion Moments in Beatles History

Edited by Jessica Lapidos

The Beatles are number 1 on countless lists counted in the past 50 years, not least FashionIndie’s Best Dressed Man Bands of All Time. The band that changed the world had a look that evolved with their music; always the classiest. Their look was no accident, and their intensely interesting photos had purpose behind them. Some for which were just smiling for national press, but others like with their friend and photographer Robert Freeman (who shot the first 5 album covers), they delved into deeper emotional imagery. On the heels of Paul McCartney’s 8-city tour (3 hours each night, not 1 sip of water #werq), and The Fest for Beatles Fans this past weekend and Beatles Week coming up in Liverpool, we’ve got the Fab Four on the mind. With thousands more photos in books, see John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr in looks that shaped the world.

Edited by Jessica Lapidos

Our love for Robyn up in FashionIndie is pretty damn fierce. And it just reached a new level with the making of her Indestructible video. If you’ve seen the music video, you’ll know it features what some might call soft-core erotica.

It was the brainchild of Australian designer Lucy McRae. She spent two years developing this technology as she worked to weave a dynamic textile from liquid, air and vapor. See how here:

27 Looks Back on the Late Great Amy Winehouse

Edited by Jessica Lapidos

Yesterday, Amy Winehouse was laid to rest in front of 200 friends and family. With heavy hearts we must accept that the beehived one has moved on to Club 27, and we are left with the legacy of her haunting voice. She cheated herself, like she knew she would. She told us she was trouble. But the thing is, we always knew that she was good. That said, listen to this acoustic version of You Know I’m No Good, and view her here at her prime. Maybe grab a kleenex first. Or a bottle of Jack.

Kanye West + Jay Z + Riccardo Tisci = Gold

Edited by Jessica Lapidos

While Kanye West is rumored to be showing at NY Fashion Week, we know he’s now no stranger to fashion. For his epic-major-totally-saw-it-coming/already-started-happening on 1-11-11 collaboration with Jay-Z, the two commissioned Riccardo Tisci of Givenchy glory to create the album art. Unfortunately it doesn’t look like this:
