Pop Style

There are some women in the music business right now that are getting me excited with their style. Katy Perry slipped into the fashion spotlight even before her first single was out at the beginning of last year. It’s her eclectic mix of vintage from 1940’s pin up girl dresses to 80’s style bright and bold prints. She herself has described her style as ‘a history book’ of fashion and favouring quirky accessories she has been quoted as loving fruit. I think this summery straw bag from Topshop (http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?beginIndex=40&viewAllFlag=false&catalogId=19551&storeId=12556&categoryId=169014&parent_category_rn=130031&productId=1113024&langId=-1) is a nod to her style and has an across the body strap- THE style for bags this summer. And for the beach, check out this 40’s style swimsuit from Agent Provocateur’s new Honey Moon swim wear collection (http://www.agentprovocateur.com/bassma/info/bikini-bra/black--white).


The newest members of the music business Girl’s Can’t Catch (www.girlscantcatch.com) (below) are close to our hearts as member Jess is our studio mate. They are currently supporting Girls Aloud on tour and with a single out in July and these young starlets are turning heads already. Jess’ unique blend of hip hop and glamour is no easy look to pull off but she is doing it effortlessly. Phoebes really individual style is quirky and cute while Daisy is definitely pulling off a sexier look. These could be ones to watch!

I guess it wouldn’t be cool to talk about Pop Style without mentioning Lady GaGa. Her headline grabbing outfits are getting increasingly crazy (tea cup anyone?!) and definitely border on the risqué. All her style is coming from her team or as she calls them her Haus of GaGa. She is known to design her own clothes and now, perhaps unsurprisingly, there is talk of a clothing line. Yes she has as many critics as fans but she gets her style point across and gets noticed-not only are people looking at her they are trying to look like her. Lady GaGa is aparently excited by this having been quoted as saying “the fashion is spreading!!” And it certainly is- just take a look at Nicole Richie channelling GaGa style for a recent BlackBook magazine (www.blackbookmag.com/pop-culture/image-full/1282) article actually works! Dressed in Chanel, Luis Vuitton and Yves Saint Laurent the edgy punk look suits her and if you don’t think you can pull off head to toe GaGa then check out Lauren Luke on YouTube (www.youtube.com/user/panacea81) in an attempt to emulate the crazy made up eyes of Lady GaGa.

And let us not forget LadyHawke (AKA Pip Brown) who instantly bridged the gap between music and fashion by providing the soundtrack for both the Topshop Unique and Osman Yousefzada LFW shows this year. Currently spotted playing with Tommy Sparx and The Tings Tings around the UK while rocking an adrogenous 60’s rock chick vibe. Her love of flannel shirts and oversized tees layered with skinny jeans and boots. An easy look to copy but worn with a certain smoky twist she manages to make a very overdone look seem unique (http://www.myspace.com/ladyhawkerock).



Finally Little Boots (AKA Victoria Hesketh) is a bit of a newcomer with her debut album out on the 8th June and has been celebrated for rocking vintage Studio 54 style dresses on stage recently. One her favourite vintage style dress designers is Antipodium. Check out Antipodiums dresses (www.antipodium.com)and check her out at www.myspace.com/littlebootsmusic
