AMP Magazine: Costume Ideas

The stereotypical outfit for an indie band is very plain. Skinny jeans are generally worn by both genders, and they tend to be of a dark colour. Hooded sweatshirts are often worn, again in dark colours, along with t-shirts with printed graphics. As indie has evolved, this has begun to change slightly however. Indie artists are beginning to look smarter. It isn't rare to see an artist in a button up shirt, jeans and brogues or converse shoes. In my photoshoot, I will represent  not only their contrasting personalities, but both sides of the fashion in indie music.

 The first band member will be in dark blue, loose jeans with a black t-shirt and scruffy hair, highlighting his slightly darker and ‘rough around the edges’ personality. The second band member will be clothed in similar dark blue, loose jeans but with a button-up white and black shirt instead to show that he has a much more clean cut lifestyle and philosophy to life. The use of a button-up shirt will also make him look more formal; signalling that he’s the leader of the duo. It is the aim of the outfits to show the difference in their personalities that isn't shown by their physical attributes.
