Festivals are no places for softies. They are loud, they are dirty, they are unpredictable. They are some days far from reality and full of fun. No places for fussy and touchy girls who are afraid of everything, especially of getting dirty. Thats why the right choice of shoes is a crucial fact on a festival. They must be robust and insensitive because they will get smutty for sure. Thats why gumboots rank in the front row of festival footwear. A pair of Hunters is the festival must-have and basic equipment for each event. Nevertheless functionality can look great as well. Rough boots clashing with a girly skirt look absolutely irresistible. The festival outfit transports the general festival attitude: relaxed coolness, chilled partying, hanging out and enjoying life.

Thats why a festival is no place for excessive vanity, make-up and complicated hair-dos. It is an uncomplicated come-together of all kinds of different people and therefore a great inspiration for all fashion victims because one can find new ideas, uncommon combinations and extraordinary looks there. No wonder that all It-Girls, models, fashion editors and other women interested in fashion attended a festival last season. Agyness Deyn, Sienna Miller, Kate Moss, Alessandra Ambrosia and Alexa Chung started a bunch of new trends with their personal interpretation of festival styles which are marked by details like striped shirts, cool belts, colorful sunglasses and broad headbands. For us, the good thing about festival looks is that they can easily be imitated and be modified individually.

My favorite festival look is absolutely easy: a short pair of denim hot-pants in combination with a colorful tank top, long and wavy hair, middle parting, sunglasses and a completely relaxed attitude. Blue jeans shorts by J Brand (Produkt z.Zt. ausverkauft) should be found in everybodys summer wardrobe. With a white Shirt, a cool Ralph Lauren belt and tanned legs they look absolutely great, not only on festivals. In this case, you combine them with some Hunter Boots and your festival styling à la Kate Moss is completed. Festivals are the place for extraordinary fashion pieces. The dark indigo Anna Sui shorts (Produkt z.Zt. ausverkauft) in blue cotton with embroidery in typical Anna Sui Bohemian 70s style are an absolute eye-catcher. Just combine them with a comfortable American Vintage tank top (Produkt z.Zt. ausverkauft) and brownish Mexicana boots.

Shirts with funny prints, neon accessories and special dresses can be sifted everywhere on festivals. Festival visitors all have that very special glue, they are inspired by the music and their peers and the overwhelming atmosphere. So the girls just put on a colorful top and look great. Like for example this top in fine printed silk by hot Californian label Tolani (Produkt z.Zt. ausverkauft) with a blue, pink and orange paisley print, with a feminine cut and fluttery sleeves. It is relaxed and stylish at the same time - a perfect festival piece. As well as the vest from Ralph Lauren Collection in cognac suede. It is the incorporation of the luxurious hippie, a little bit crazy, absolutely stylish and an eye-catcher. In other words the perfect equipment for our festival of fashion. Rock on.
