Moodboard Explained

The people at the top of my moodboard are what would be a stereotypical image of an 'indie' person. The top left and the top middle are 2 bands that do Indie music and the person on the left is Noel Fielding - out the program The Mighty Boosh - a programme that Indie people would probably enjoy. All the clothing on the moodboard are from websites such as All Saints, Cult and Topshop/Topman. These shops produce clothing such as skinny jeans, converse, chequered shirts, hats, ties and vintage looking items - all which someone whose interested in Indie would also purchase and dress in. Clothing like this is very different and statement, people where them to stand out and look individual. The majority of the clothing is however mens, yet women also wear Indie clothing and enjoy Indie music - a good example of an Indie woman would be Alexa Chung, TV presenter and fashionista. The reason i have put 1980's on there is because that was the era when Indie music really came out and entered the music scene, artists were becoming more individual and experimenting with this new genre of music. This ties into the word 'America' on my moodboard, which is there as America started the genre off, but then was copied in the British industry and has even ended up becoming more famous and popular with more followers over here than over there. There are plenty of Indie bands which are now on the music scene and becoming very popular such as the Kaiser Cheifs (top left), The Horros (top middle) and Kasabien. All these items on my moodboard have inspired my idea for my magazine and the models in my magazine will be dressed in similar items of clothing - as i enjoy this type of music i feel it will make my magazine more effective as i know a lot about the genre and am interested in the type of individual clothing Indie people where.
