The air was warm, the crowd was incredibly chill and the new art installations were eye catching – just your typical day at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. Day one and two of weekend one of Coachella 2015 are in the books – and they were great one. Perhaps it is because the line up this year is slightly less stacked with radio popular bands and is more eclectic in style – but there is a noticeable improvement of the crowds this year. Less of the rowdy ‘Bros’, more of the uber chill Bohemian festival lovers.
Trends spotted on the polo fields so far? Temporary metallic tattoos, fanny packs (on both girls AND guys), coloured mirror sun glasses, midriffs, patterned loose pants and fringe on bags annd shirts.
Didn’t make it to Coachella this year? Check out the live stream on their website www.coachella.com
