Fashion At San Miguel Primavera Sound, A Closer Look

We analyse the clothes we spotted yesterday at San Miguel Primavera Sound: what are people wearing, which shoes, what accessories, and why? Because the black, the tats and the high heels can be explained.

It's strange and outrageous, but it's true: Spain, and half of Europe, is being ravaged by the economic crisis, yet tens of thousands of people are indulging in limitless hedonism without a care in the world, as we speak. Maybe it is just that crisis, or the catastrophic unemployment rate among Spanish youth, but low-cost seems to be the word when it comes to the hipster uniforms at the event in the past few years.

Just so we understand each other: while three years ago, all the boys were dressed like Vampire Weekend (moccasins, pastel colours, Hamptons), this year Grimes' no-style's the winner - less tamed, more unpolished, and more open to improvisation. Among the people watching Claire Boucher play, we spotted a lot of outfits bordering on the ravey, as a substitute for the posh I'm-going-on-a-picnic styles of past editions. Anarchy versus sophistication.
