From a music festival to the it-festival Coachella began in 1999 as an unassuming desert music festival. Now, though, it’s transformed into a cultural phenomenon, attracting new-age music lovers, tech digerati, fashionistas, and celebs who want to be seen. This weekend, way across the country in Indio, California, the 2025 version of Coachella is starting to boogie. Picture this… an epic, groundbreaking lineup and headlining performances from Lady Gaga, Green Day, and Post Malone! To blow the roofs off even further, global superstar and Houston-native TRAVIS SCOTT will join the lineup as a special guest.
Through the years, Coachella has become known as a trendsetting ground for the latest and greatest looks. With eclectic, vibrant styles that challenge the conventions of what you might wear to a traditional festival, our models are sure to inspire! Celebrities, including the likes of Kate Bosworth, have no problem raving about Coachella’s fashion. They focus on the event’s powerful impact on today’s fashion. From fun shades to show-stopping designs, the event is an opportunity for visitors to choose looks that match their unique personality and artistic spirit.
One of the most iconic fashion trends that has survived since the festival’s beginnings is the punky tartan style. This audacious trend has come to define Coachella and remains as popular with festival-goers as it was seven years ago. First, celebrities often lead the pack when it comes to trends and what’s cool. Zoe Kravitz and her sartorial summer style, in a slip dress and chunky platforms. At the same time, Katy Perry made waves by wearing black stockings with a flowery frock.
In years past, Coachella has led to the appropriation of feathered headdresses and bindis. Increasing conversations regarding cultural appropriation have only hurt their popularity among festival-goers. This positive change reflects an increased understanding of cultural sensitivity within the fashion world. It challenges each of us to consider the ramifications of our aesthetic decisions.
In spite of all these changes, Coachella has still become the biggest fashion and music spectacle ever. It serves as a gathering place for those looking to express themselves through their attire while enjoying performances from top artists. The festival’s impact on fashion trends and social discussions continues to evolve, ensuring its relevance in both the music and fashion industries.
