James Mollison
I just came across this post on the T Magazine blog and had to post it. It’s images from a photo show by photographer James Mollison. Mollison traveled to concerts, taking photos of fans searching for an answer to the question of “When should one stop appearing in public dressed like a rock god?” I’ve definitely been inspired by musicians styles, but I don’t think I’ve ever gone this far… and actually, I’m not sure if the fans in these photos really realize how much they are dressing like the artist until they see the photos (excluding the Jimmy Buffet guys. haha!). I could definitely see it being a semi-subconscious thing. None the less, the photos are really interesting and there is even an FBM t-shirt in there (second to the left above)!
Check out more images here. The Dolly Parton and Jimmy Buffet photos are my favorite!
Wow, thats funny.
That Merle Haggard concert looks killer.
dude, this is such a great project!! I love how he put them in front a white seamless. good find.
The Merle Haggard concert looks like the people who are at the grocery store where i grew up, seriously.
Diddy is more powerful than I thought. He’s able to make women dress like whores WITHOUT paying them.
This project is soooooooooooooooo awesome!!
