Behind the 60s Style Scene with Music Legend Peter Asher

Edited by

After rising to prominence on the London music scene in the 60s as one half of Peter and Gordon, Peter Asher went on to manage Apple Records, produce all of James Taylor‘s multi-platinum records, and influence pop music from the inside. He also made besties with Twiggy and was roomies with Paul McCartney along the way. I caught up with him at his recording studio in Santa Monica when I was in LA. He told me how the London music scene shopped, why the Apple Boutique closed, and what fashion gem was hiding in Pete Townsend‘s basement.

How to Live in a Yellow Submarine

Edited by

If you’d like to be, under the sea, in an Octopus’s Garden in your home, you’re not alone. In fact we’ve been shouting about the super limited theatrical re-release of The Beatles’ Yellow Submarine in the FashionIndie office, and it’s reminding us not only of Ringo Starr‘s affinity for singing about objects found beneath the waves, but of how lovely it would be if we all live in an oceanic room! See how to turn your living space into the perfect place to serve Ringo tea, under the sea.

Edited by

Now that April is finally over, it’s time for some May music madness!  This month’s theme is “jam”-packed with all things music, starting with album inspired nail art.  (see what we did there?)  Getting a basic manicure is now a thing of the past, as intricate, over-the top nails have become the new fashion accessory.  From The Beatles to Skrillex, these rocking music designs have us screaming “Encore!”

Nanette Lepore Dances in PJs, Reads Tarot with Oscar Wilde & Scolds Naïve Designers in Elevators

Edited by

Nanette Lepore‘s girls came out today gilded in gold, glowing with jewels, burning with orange, and with a sense of English school girl goes to India. This mod Fall 2012 experiment kicked off with a rendition of The Beatles‘ I Saw Her Standing There and continued with a barrage of pretty dresses. There’s something mystical about the collection, and there’s a dandy explanation, straight from Nanette’s lips. And if you’re a young designer, you need a piece of Ms. Lepore’s mind. She gives it here.

Fashion Week’s Man of a Thousand Wild Suits Rocks John Lennon

Edited by

He’s a Fashion Week fixture: The man in the wild printed suit and matching newsboy hat. If you’ve been to The Tents, you’ve seen him and probably wonder, who the heck is he?  This mysteriously matching man rocked a John Lennon suit this New York Fashion Week. The deeply rooted Beatles fan in me suddenly had to know more about him and his sartorial choice of Lennon that caused quite a stir. So I asked.

The Beatles’ Epic Pillow Fight Fights Back

Edited by

Ah, the epic Pillow Fight. Historically a male fantasy about those just 17 girls in their nighties at a sleepover party, the dream took a turn to turn on countless women across the world when The Beatles started thwacking each other around with the goose downs out of sheer joy. 48 years ago in a hotel room in Paris, The Fab Four found out that “I Wanna Hold Your Hand” soared to number 1 in the United States. How else would four young men celebrate world domination?

George Harrison: Within You, Without You 10 Years Later

Edited by

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.

John Lennon & Musical Legends with Cute Cats and Dogs for Charity

Edited by

As further proof that rockstars are real people too (still debatable), there’s a set of 10 note cards now for sale with photos of musical legends and their loving animal counterparts. Did you realize that John Lennon was such a cat lover? Or that Patti Smith had a (presumably lucky) black cat? Or that David Bowie has a dog other than Diamond Dogs? The Morrison Hotel Gallery is giving 100% of the sales from this $20 box of cards goes to the charity Rational Animal, which raises awareness and money for the homeless animals in NYC and nationwide. See a sneak peek ahead and get all gooey inside.
