All About Indie Fashion

Music has always had a heavy influence on the fashion scene. Most people look to music stars to get the latest fashion ideas. Music started making an impact on fashion during the seventies and eighties when it became important for bands to set themselves apart; they did this by making their attire as unique as possible. Ripped jeans and jelly shoes are a couple of examples of how musicians have influenced fashion. 

Indie fashion is no different. Music plays a role in indie fashion a different way. The term 'indie' is a music industry term that refers to a music act that is on an independent label or distributing their music by themselves.

Now, independent artist are everywhere because of the internet. But when indie artists first started popping up, they were seen as daring, trailblazers who were so good that they didn't need anyone to back them. Indie fashion still embodies the spirits of those early artist.

So now that we've gotten that out of the way, I'm sure what to what constitutes indie fashion. Indie fashion encompasses a wide range of things. There is no one particular style in indie fashion. So if you want to know if something is indie just take a look around; if you see a lot of people wearing it, it's not indie. But when we talk about clothes that are defined as indie, most of them have a very retro feel. If a unique style doesn't have any retro or classic qualities people are more likely to call it eclectic or eccentric.

There are also many independent designers. Every dress, shirt and pant they sell is made by them. Buying from an indie designer, even if the style is more mainstream, will still mean that you are wearing indie digs. Thanks to the internet, independent designers can reach people all over the globe. If you are a fan of indie fashion there is a plethora of designers to check out online.

If you want to add more indie fashion to your wardrobe and are turning to the fashion runway for inspiration, then you are looking in the wrong place. You should be turning to your own thoughts and ideas to develop your own indie style of dress because that is what indie is all about.
