musical uniform.






one of the highest forms of flattery in the music scene would undeniably be the adaptation of visual. 
the armor of your favorite band.

we're all guilty of it. ive been a manson fan before i was a teenager - and if i may add still am today - and i remember a passion for goth platform buckle boots, short mini skirts , fishnets and serial killer tshirts ( remember those?! ) one of the first concerts i went to i can remember what i had on clearer then what bands played : long black tight skirt, rocketdog platform silver buckle shoes, cindy brady jailbait tshirt and an assortment of black rope jewelry. oh dear god.
none the less, at the time it was right.

the photography of james mollison and his portraits of fans outside concerts at hasted hunts shows an on point representation of the musical fashion show that at no matter what genre, age or gender lives on.

ok so my manson obsession is out of the bag.....your turn.
