Styling

After watching, studying, and analysing several different Alternative/Indie/Rock bands and their music videos, I have noticed that a lot of them wear similar / the same sort of clothes.
They all seem to wear very plain and simple black and white clothing, usually black skinny jeans with a white vest or t-shirt, and then a leather jacket; so smart-casual.

The bands below are not only similar to The Neighbourhood in terms of music, but also with their image - all of the bands have done several photo shoots in black and white and this helps to create their 'image'. 



The Neighbourhood

 

Arctic Monkeys



The 1975



Imagine Dragons



Kodaline




Kings Of Leon

 


Last Dinosaurs



Fall Out Boy

 

All of the bands above seem to wear nearly the same outfits: large, chunky jackets; sunglasses; hats; large jumpers; long necklaces; black skinny jeans; denim jackets; festival wristbands; watches; and bracelets.



I have also been researching stylists whom work on music videos for artists like The Neighbourhood.

The 3 stylists which have styled my favourite artists in some of favourite music videos are David Thomas ( http://www.davidthomasstylist.com/motion/music-videos), Emma Lamp (http://www.emmalamp.com/#!portraits/c164h), and Mark Anthony Bradley (http://markanthonybradley.com)

David Thomas
His clientele includes artists such as Jon Bon Jovi, Kanye West, Oasis, Snow Patrol. In terms of music videos, he's styled for Arctic Monkeys 'Arabella', John Legend 'Tonight', and Kayne West 'Monster'.

 

 

Emma Lamp
She has styled artists for their music videos such as The 1975 'The City', Mumford and Sons 'Winter Winds', and Lower Than Atlantis 'Love Someone Else'.

 

 

The Lower Than Atlantis video is set in a diner and is styled to look like it is set in the 50s, the same as my video, so I looked at their video for outfit inspirations.

 

Mark Anthony Bradley
He has styled videos such as McFly 'That's The Truth', and Pixie Lott 'Boys And Girls'.
