research into costume and hair.

in order to et a better understanding of what look, appearance and style similar artist in the music genre used i did some research. The first artist i looked at was Liam Gallagher, Liam is iconic for his hairstyle and constant use of sunglasses, whether he be inside or out. His hairstyle, which usually consists of long sideburns and that original mod look helps him stand out in the music industry and has influenced many people to grow their hair into this style. He is also known for his own pretty green clothing and is usually seen wearing a long parka, rain coat or mac. This made me look at my genre and artist and see if this look would suit my magazine best. I then went on to look at the otherside of the mod and indie culture and look where artist like to wear suits, button up shirts etc to get that old vintage mod look with a little rock'n'roll in there too. A new and young up coming band that use this is The Strypes. they are a band of teenagers who take this look instead of the parka and long hair look. Another iconic artist to do this is Mile Kane who recently shaved his hair, but before then was seen with his long hair, however he was always seen in a blazer or suit. They even go along the route of wearing old style denim jackets, leather jackets or Harrington jackets in order to keep their mod look, while looking more causal.
