ARTROCKER STREETSTYLE PRESENTS: LOUNGE ON THE FARM - ONE FOR THE BOYS
Filed in Fashion by Rebecca Barnes at 13.05pm on 18 July 11
2011s LOUNGE ON THE FARM festival saw some extraordinary talent, from names like EXAMPLE and THE STREETS to the unheard of, with C.W. Stoneking and Echo and the Bunnymen as firm Artrocker favourites.
With the typical British weather living up to its reputation as per, Festival go-ers at Lounge on The Farm had to contend with some sporadic showers amidst a somewhat overcast weekend. Despite this, the crowds did not fail in whipping out their Hunter’s and dressing to impress.
And the fashion wasn’t bad either! The Joy Formidable’s Ritzy Bryan in a punk/goth, sheer black mini dress was the perfect attire for glamping, whilst up and coming band Big Deal not only performed a stunning set but Alice Costelloe of the boy/girl duo gets the vote for Festival hotty. Proving rather easy on the eye, her shy demeanour and husky vocals added to her sex appeal.
Friday saw a 90s Brit pop vibe that gave precedent to parka-esque rain macs as Cast and Cornershop headlined the Meadow’s stage. Although it may have been a brimful of rain rather than ‘asha’, the boys showed that anoraks are a Festival fashion essential!
Local, Simon Martin, 20, says, ‘go to a charity shop, spend a few quid and don’t worry if it gets messy.’ We agree! You’ll find the best retro and unique designs in the chazzas!
With the main stage outside this year, layering was the key as the lads proved they could rock warm jackets or vintage knits, even with tailored shorts. Highlights on Saturday included Example and Ellie Goulding with boots and wellies doubling as foot protection against the heaving crowd. Jamie West, 25, comments, ‘At Festivals, boots are important to me because they are practical, comfortable and you never know what shit your gonna step in.’ I guess that’s something to bear
in mind (especially on a farm!)
When the sun finally made an appearance, skinny jeans were rolled up and an array of vibrant tees came on show. Thank fuck for that!

PEPE JEANS A/W ROCK ‘N’ ROLL COLLECTION
New fly-on-the-wall campaign by PEPE JEANS offers a glimpse into the lives of a rock band, capturing the essence of the new mainline collection through a fictional storyboard of an imagined bohemian gang of young rock stars.
Shot against the aristocratic backdrop of Edwardian country house Sennowe Park in the heart of Norfolk, England, the campaign’s storyboard captures the wild-child essence of 1970s rock’n’roll folklore and repaints that world of beauty and youth, glamour and excess with a contemporary brush.
Visually, it's very intriguing; inspiring fashion for the season ahead, beautiful settings and backdrops and easy-on-the-eye models playing their instruments. Rather charmingly, it's worth a look.

ARTROCKER GET THE LOOK: HOP FARM FESTIVAL
Even though the array of talent at HOP FARM this year was astonishing, especially considering it’s only it’s 4th year, witnessing PRINCE’s performance was quite literally out of this world, so much so the memories still refuse to leave the ARTROCKER office.
Global megastars included IGGY AND THE STOOGES, LOU REED, EAGLES, MORRISSEY, Artrockers very own DUKE SPIRIT and the legend of funk; LARRY GRAHAM of GRAHAM CENTRAL STATION. Graham, in particular, was a definite crowd favourite, but even the funk god himself couldn’t get the crowd jumping. The sunday festival-goers were there to see one man, and one man only; PRINCE.
Not only was Prince’s performance by far the most entertaining, he is back better than ever with a band to match. Including his very easy on the eye, backing guitarist, who not only had the voice of an angel but the fashion sense of an icon. It’s become quite apparent that Prince only employees band members that are multi-instrumentalists, voices to rival Whitney Houston and have the biggest sex appeal known to man.....so all his band members must not be human then yeah? Hell yeah! No mortal human being can sound that good!
Get the look this week presents a fashion taster of how you can achieve Prince’s backing guitarist’s style.
