When you think “festival fashion,” Coachella, which starts today, is pretty much the gold standard. With the stylish crowd gathered in one dusty desert destination, decked out in their boho best, it’s a feast for the eyes. With the emergence of ’70s styles on the S/S 2015 runways, adapting to the boho vibe seems to be an easy task. Take, for example, fringe. From fringe hemlines to cropped tops, gorgeous flats and even bags, the look is everywhere you turn at a music festival. Here is some style inspiration.
Get the look: Fringed leather biker jacket by Balmain, cropped cutout stretch-knit top by Jonathan Simkhai, cut-off denim shorts and Monogramme fringed suede shoulder bag, both by Saint Laurent, Virginie rabbit-felt fedora by Maison Michel, gold-plated chain bib necklace by Ben Amun, aviator-style gold-tone mirrored sunglasses and leopard-print calf hair point-toe flats, both by Victoria Beckham.
A hat looks always stylish or opt for a flower crown. Colour some cute daisies under your eyes for the ultimate hippie feeling or stitch some floral lace around one hemline of your denim shorts. Wether you are in Palm Springs or not, this style looks great everywhere.

Before the exhibition set off around the world, IWC celebrated the world premiere with around 250 guests and invited them to a glamorous gala dinner (see yesterday’s post here).
