Symphonic Styling


This is not a blog post by the fashion police or a style review by some preppy kid in Los Angeles who doesn’t drink tap water. This is simply a footpath to the fashion of Kwaicore. I mean who said looks don’t count? Your mom? So did mine, but they lied.  So lets talk about these musicians’ image, so that if their music falls flat their clothes might still get an encore…. I want you to think The Jetson’s meets Swiss Family Robison. Kwaicore performers are recognized for their uniformed baggy cotton button ups and brown leather sandals that remain unparalleled by a common thread of futuristic accessories. (Excuse the pun) The style of Kwaicore is very much an acquired taste. First impressions leave you a little muddled; raising the same eyebrow you did when you discovered that Justin Bieber was a boy. I call it the ‘fuck a duck’ expression, but as you interact more and more with this genre and its ambassador’s, you begin to appreciate the brand that they have created for themselves. Their choice of cloth allows them total freedom on stage, while still illustrating a noticeable effort. Their trademark opaque sunglasses and bright frills are indicative of their special effect performances -that highlight elements of their outfits through ultraviolet rays and smoke machines. All in all it’s a look that turns heads. Maybe not all the way around but certainly a neck jerker!
