Glastonbury Fashion: Greatest Hits
The greatest festival of them all returns this weekend, as Glastonbury makes a welcome comeback after its year off. Kylie is just one of the people on the bill, and it looks like it is going to be a scorcher. But, as important as the music is, the fashion and style sported is as eagerly anticipated. Glastonbury style is a style all of its own. Unlike Coachella, we rarely get the weather, in fact, at times, it can be a total washout, so Glasto style is often built around a pair of Hunter Wellies. Army fatigues and khaki are also popular, and a DIY pair of denim hot pants seem…

Get Your Festival style sorted
Festival season will soon be upon us, and this year sees the biggie back, with Glastonbury once again promising to be memorable. Festivals are a great mixture of great style, great music, and, notoriously bad weather, but they are a part of Summer to enjoy and savour, whether you go for a single day or enjoy the whole camping/glamping experience. Festivals in the UK are as famous for the inclement weather as they are for the music, and weather does tend to govern festival fashion.

RIP Anita Pallenberg
This week saw the death of the ultimate rock chick. Anita Pallenberg, famously the lover of both Brian Jones and Keith Richard (and possibly Mick Jagger) died at the relatively early age of 73. But boy, had she packed some life into those 73 years, both as a model, an actress and a fashion muse whose style we see every festival season. Anita was a German born model who took Swinging London by storm in the mid 60s. Her relationship with Brian Jones was turbulent and violent, but she also introduced him to culture and the arts, but after a particularly bad night which saw Brian beat Anita, she fled…

The Return of the Bumbag
There are some fashion trends that shine brightly for a while and then disappear forever. Other trends are more mercurial, they disappear, only to reappear, loved once again by a new generation too young to remember them the first time around. One such fashion trend that fits this bill is the once much maligned bumbag, which has popped up again on the Skatehut site in a range of cool designs. The bumbag was a late 1980s phenomenon, often teamed with a shellsuit and trainers. It was a look that, for a while, was everywhere. But it fell out of favour very quickly, linked to badly dressed tourists who wore them…
