George Harrison: Within You, Without You 10 Years Later

10 years ago today, we lost someone very special, and our guitars have been gently weeping ever since. George Harrison, the Quiet Beatle, has left a loud impression on us, not only for being one of the greatest guitar players to ever live, but for changing the way we listen to music. It was his initiative that brought The Beatles to India and the Indian meditation and sitar to Western ears. This is, of course, after he and John, Paul and Ringo shook the world loose with Beatlemaniacal Rock ‘n’ Roll. His individuality always grew and he wore his easygoing swagger and rockstar nobility beautifully. This year, Martin Scorcese released a documentary on George that illuminated him to us even more deeply. He really was Something, wasn’t he? In honor of George, turn on your favorite George Harrison song, scroll through these photos, and send up peace and love.

Best Dressed at The Fest

Edited by Jessica Lapidos

We’ve established that The Beatles are The Best Dressed Man Band of All Time, but what about their fans? Does the impeccable style of The Fab Four penetrate the fashionable wits of those dedicated to the music of John, Paul, George and Ringo? This past weekend, Beatles fans from across the universe united for a hotel takeover to celebrate the legacy of peace, love and sensational music at The Fest for Beatles Fans. This year I was there as more than a fan (and festival coordinator), I was FashionIndie’s eye, on the lookout out for the best executed Beatles era throwbacks.

Designer: Something

Edited by Princess Glover

Now this is the kind of clothing you want to be caught wearing in the party pics section of Vice. Something is a label so underground, it’s not easy to come by due to the fact that it’s only sold at select boutiques, and you can forget about shopping online-that’s how cool it is. Even though it plays hard to get, it’s still worth scouring every remote specialty shop for.

The label consists of eclectic silhouettes, colorful, playful prints, and beautifully odd graphics including pandas, cats, and wolves. It’s kinda Urban Outfitters-y but not as trite. To head designer, Natalie Wood, who has also been behind other cult labels like Beauty of Nature, and Sample, it’s about quality and individuality over accessibility. “We’re not about dominance of the fashion scene, we just want to make cool shit.” Basically, the philosophy is all about doing what you want, and setting your own trends rather than following them.
