Recently
Sara lent me the book 'I'm With The Band', a memoir
by Pamela Des Barres. Confessions from the mythical world of Rock 'n' Roll through the eyes of the most infamous groupie herself. Its an enchanting and enlightening read. Naughtiness aside and I believe me I love the mischief, being groupie is a lot more then just free love. There is the true appreciation of music, and
oh man the fashion! I could day dream about it all day long, or roam
Pinterest for hours on end looking at old backstage photographs. The book itself, gave us the next obvious styling direction for Part 2 in our Eliza & Sara series. So welcome to Muse Me, inspired by those mythical groupie goddesses.
This look didn't need to relate to everyday life, I wanted it to live in a world of make believe. With a musical 60s/70s starting point, I knew I needed something pretty out there and flamboyant. Something that would suit the stage, as well as the after party. Obey Womens's purple haze of a T-shirt was perfect for this look as wanted to start off playful. For the main attraction, I wanted to have a super shaggy jacket from The Lovers and Drifters Club. These lusty babies are a lot of fun and come in a whole range of colours. I had been dying to dress up in one of these for ages so felt very excited to finally get my hands on one. To finish off with a psychedelic nod, I chose sunglasses from Quay's new SS16 collection in that retro round style.
Sara and I were quite keen to shoot it differently from regular street style shots so brought in Sara's talented intern to take our photos. Thank you Hannah, we love them. We hope you do too!
