Blog #8: Concerts are the New Catwalk

Have you ever wanted to emulate your favorite singer or band? Sure, you have. Everyone has.

The costumes that musicians wear on stage have become more and more important to their fans overall concert experience. Ever since the 1980s, pop stars of the world have dictated fashion, and have made their choice in clothing essential to their persona.

It all started with the queen, Madonna. Unafraid to take risks - both fashionable and musical - Madonna ruled as the Queen Bee in the 1980's. Girls across the world wanted to mimic her eclectic personal style.

Just look at the way her fans imitate her style in the video below:


Today, the same epidemic is sweeping the nation in the form of Lady Gaga.  Her style is equally as outlandish and provocative as Madonna's was in the 1980s.  Her outfits are constantly adapted and worked into mainstream fashions.

Her use of leopard harks back to my post about leopard, and she is right on trend with her lingerie, though she takes it farther than most.

Which celebrity style do you emulate?  Do you think fashion rules the concert stage, or is it really all about the music?
