Perhaps the biggest influence on the fashion world has been music. Music stars from solo artists to big boy bands have all had their fair touch on the fashion industry by causing and driving the latest trends and bringing inspirations to even the greatest designers of the world. Some stars have changed the face of fashion for ever and left their legendary mark, with a little help from fashion designers.
The great influence on fashion in history, especially in the UK and America, is the music stars from the London streets: the Sex Pistols. They were helped along the way by the now amazingly famous Vivienne Westwood but their fashion influence is still a major factor in fashion today. They started a rebellion in punk and anarchy but left with us fashionable safety pins, patches, rips, studs and military jackets. The world of fashion is full of the more 'refined' punk look but it all originated from Vivienne and the terribly amazing Sex Pistol trend.
If you're looking at UK fashion take a look at the Spice Girls who, in their prime, influenced Britain with 'Union Flag' tops and short skirts. Victoria Beckham from the Spice Girls is still a regular face in the fashion industry at the moment, even though the band has disbanded. David Bowie also pioneered the 'glitz and glamour' era of fashion and brought a whole new meaning to weird and wonderful.
The 90s brought along the influential grunge era pioneered by rockers such as the late Kurt Cobain. Although many see this as a 'teenage' fashion sense the grunge look of khaki and hardcore feel is something that can be pinned to most designs today. Madonna was also one of the women music stars who brought female fashion into the light with her rebellious attitude and edgy personality and looks.
The modern music scene and the latest music stars still retain their influence on fashion. JLS as the most recent band to take this role, bring the metro sexual men of the world out and influencing the manly styles of knitted scarves and tight shirts. The fashion world is still held hostage by music - but both industry wouldn't be here today without each other!
