Music & Fashion hrough out the years the music has always influenced the fashion, even back in the 50s with the typical rocker look with a leather jacket and jeans and always seen with a motor bike, in today's fashion it is very minimal or very flamboyant for example tshirt (usually a music t-shirt) and jeans for a minimal look or for a more expressive look with piercings, load clothing and dark colours for the flamboyant look. The music industry not only relies on the music itself but also the merchandise and the clothing (official clothing), the clothing also gives the image of the persons love of music it shows the appreciation of music and the artist themselves.
