Big rock stars often have their own stylists and designers to make them costumes for big shows or music videos. Johnny Blue Eyes did Gossip and CSS, Christian Joy did Karen O and Klaxons. Nova Dando did Lightspeed Champion, La Roux and loads of upcoming bands. Someday I want these people to make me some costumes. I can’t afford them yet though. But, what I’m here to say is that if you are in a broke band, you can still look as fucked up and stylish as those rock stars. Here are some examples of DIY stage outfits that I’ve got involved in recently.
