Styling

The current definition of male indie style was made popular by bands such as The Vaccines, The Drums and Two Door Cinema Club. The style has become available to all by large, international high street shops such as Topman and River Island. This style includes clothes such as skinny jeans, buttoned up shirts, vests, cardigans, jumpers and tweed, denim and military jackets. The image here of Two Door Cinema Club is the perfect demonstration of the style we want. Another reason this look has become so popular recently is because of the constant revival of British heritage making 'vintage' items cool and bringing them into the forefront of fashion, resulting in a huge amount of vintage shops. This is the look we would like Oliver to have in our video. Although it is very mainstream it will clearly display an indie rather than having a very obscure, hipster style. This will also relate more to the audience we specified in the profile.

This smart, yet casual style was first made popular by The Beatles in their early years. Demonstaring just how influencial music, and a specific band, can be on all elements of culture.

The three female extras we intend to have will all have a stereotypical outfit for their role.
The waitress will look quite bland and be styled in plain, dark coloured clothes. They would be wearing minimal make up, and generally look quite scruffy and miserable to help reflect the lyrics.
The girl who will waltz with Oliver will not have ballroom elegance but rather a youthful, sophisticated look wearing a pretty, pastel dress which will float well whilst dancing.
The girl who receives the rose from Oliver will wear casual dress again fitting into the mainstream idea of indie, wearing jeans, leather shoes and a jacket.

  1. Add some images to this post. The bands you mention would be a good place to start.
