Designers that are Inspired by Indie Rockers

PPQ

My next designer is PPQ, PPQ is owned by Amy Molyneaux and Percy Parker. In 1992 they launched their fashion label, they created a style that sets a backbone for the future of the fashion industry.

The brand has always been very up and coming and began the drainpipe jean revolution; this style began by being worn by famous faces such as Amy Winehouse and Peter Doherty.

Other famous signatures pieces from PPQ style is the smock and cocktail dresses and well as the statement rock jackets. These styles quickly passed on through word of mouth and especially at Fashion Weeks. 

PPQ’s collections are always cutting edge within the strong shapes of the garments as well as the intricate fabrics used in a variety of colours.

PPQ style is heavily influenced from the Indie Rock subculture, especially with the use of colors, statement designs and jackets, and the use of that rock chick style within the collections.

Designers Inspired by Indie Rockers

Felder Felder

The next designer that I believe to be inspired by the Indie Rocker style is Felder Felder. The company was set up by identical twin sisters Annette and Daniela Felder, whilst they were still studying at Central Saint Martins In 2006/07.

The sisters established themselves a signature style, with a feminine rock and roll edge. This style was quickly embraced by famous faces, including; Rihanna, Florence and the Machine and Alison Mosshart.

The sisters create beautiful garments that have a real edge to them, they are interested in combining contrasts in each of their collections.

The Felder Felder customer likes to wear clothes that make a real statement and have that rock chick feel to them.

I believe that the Felder Felder Sisters find a lot of inspiration from the indie rock subculture, and the colours and statement style that is worn. Also within the makeup looks.

Designers inspired by Indie Rockers

Danielle Scutt

The first designer that I will be looking at that I believe is inspired by the subculture of Indie Rockers is Danielle Scutt. Scutt is a Central St. Martin Graduate who sent out her first freelance collection in Spring 2008. She has also shown twice with Fashion East.

Her design style has a rock element to it, and her designs tend to experiment with different fabrics, and have an androgynous style to them. Examples of clothing or garments that feature a lot within in her collections would be trench coats, denim,jumpsuits, chiffon dresses and jackets.

Danielle Scutt has not designed for 3 seasons, and has returned with a design style that has taken a more sexy but still sophisticated edge, for example her Fall 2011 collection that featured a lot of velvet, and gold brocade fabrics. 

Scutt’s collections are more wearable than other designers in both being comfortable and fashionable. Which makes them popular with her customers.

I think Danielle Scutt is inspired by Indie Rockers style, as her garments and design reflect this but in a high fashion sense. 

MUSE

When looking into my chosen subculture I think that Daisy Lowe Is the perfect muse and style icon for the indie rock girls subculture. I love her rock and roll edge to her style, and her individual look.
