Santo killing the throwback Gucci sweater
Clubkids, MCs, and songbirds are showing us how fashion turns up the volume on music. We saw their asymmetrical haircuts snuff the beloved bob and they were on acid washed jeans way before Urban.

My current obsession, Music with Mad Style, will take a look at some of my favorite performers musically and stylistically. Here's a first look at Santogold.......................
Brooklyn's Santogold a.k.a Santi White has exploded on the music scene in a strange way: Various reads ranging from WWD to the The Fader covered Ms. Thing's funky, fresh, fun melodies without addressing entirely her unique fashion sense.......................
In a Fader interview Santi addresses fashion in the music industry, "I'm an old school artist," she says. "I don't care about looking the part all the time, and in the modern entertainer world it's all about looking the part. In fact, you don't even have to have anything beyond that. If you look the part then you are the part. I just can't be bothered half the time."......................
Without any conscious effort, take a look at the part that Santogold has created for herself...

Who went to SummerStage? I did! Kinda...sadly, all my friends who I planned to go with or meet there cancelled for one reason or another, which caused me to be in no rush to sit at a concert for 4 hours alone. So I got there at 5:30pm to find a hoard of people lined up at the gate. SummerStage filled to capacity!
