FASHION Magazine

Let the fringe-fest begin! This weekend, the stylish (and the not so stylish) flocked to Indio, California for the first in a two-week installment of Coachella 2012. With the likes of Radiohead, Pulp, Azealia Banks and Feist rocking the stage, and celebs like Katy Perry, Rihanna, Kate Bosworth and Diane Kruger boozing on the sidelines, style spotting amidst the madness was on the agenda for Toronto-based Amy Wood who snapped some of the fest’s best dressed for us. Stay tuned for a new installment next week from the second weekend of festivities!

While we’ve been busy with all things Canadian fashion for the last few weeks, our friends south of the border have been living it up in the Austin sun for the two-week-long South by Southwest (SXSW) film, interactive, and music festival. While everyone from Bruce Springsteen to Jay-Z (!!!) to Sleigh Bells took to the stage, the stylin’ gals filled out the parties and the crowds in full force, including one Miss Alexa Chung, whom we snapped at the Spin magazine party in a rad metallic skirt, and two of the most babe-ular musicians, Margaux & Charly (they play violin and viola respectively), on bikes. Toronto-born and currently Austin-based writer and all around cool chick Lia Parsley was there to catch all the fashion action. And here, we bring you the best snaps!

The stylish set hit the desert this past weekend for Coachella, the three-day celebration of hot new bands in the California sun. In and amongst a huge crowd rocking out to the likes of Kanye West, Interpol, The Strokes and The Arcade Fire, Toronto gal Lauren Baker (owner and curator of one of the city’s most beloved designer consignment and vintage stores, LAB Consignment) was snapping photos of some of the cutest guys and gals, including a one Miss Alexa Chung.

South by Southwest marked the unofficial start to summer music festival season this weekend, with throngs of talent-discovering junkies flocking to Austin, Texas for a few days of wham bam performances from the likes of The Strokes, Bright Eyes, Ariel Pink, Toronto’s own Death from Above 1979 and about a million other bands you’ve never heard of. Naturally, the stylish set⎯including a one miss Mischa Barton⎯can always be found in and amongst a party like this and man-about-Montreal (and former Jak and Jil contributor), Adrian Corsin was there to snap it all up! Here are his best shots from the fest.
