Wild Style: Très Awesome Does Pitchfork 2011
Festival season in Chicago is my favorite time of year. Summer’s in full swing and it’s a great excuse to hang with friends in the sun and listen to live music. Also there’s no better place in Chicago to scout street style. This past weekend I attended the Pitchfork Music Festival, an annual three day affair that features the best acts you may have never heard of sprinkled in with more established groups.
This year’s headliners were Animal Collective, Cut Copy and TV on the Radio. I was on assignment from Elle.com to capture all the stylish people attending Pitchfork this year when 80%20 asked me if I wanted to wear their shoes while doing it. I of course said yes!

EMA was one of the first artists I got to shoot. Not only did she kill it on stage, she looks adorable here in her fishnets, orange socks, and diy red shorts.
This festival goers look is all her own. She looks so cool with this vintage camera.
I heart this woman’s purple frames and red lipstick.
The mix of brown aztec print and pink shades is really doing it for me.
This is the fabulous Taylor Brode, Zola Jesus‘ manager. Check out the Elle.com interview with Zola and my accompanying photos here.
Here I am gettin’ her done.
My friend Maggie was thrilled to get two pairs of 80%20 shoes. Here she is on day one looking very serious and windblown.

She wore these on day 2. So sweet.

No matter how stylish the shoes, at music festivals sometimes you have to kick back on your blanket barefoot style. Thanks 80%20 for making me look good at the fest.
