In my estimation, Pitchfork is the ultimate fashion show. It brings out all the alternatively-inclined, and they’re all dressed to impress. Or, um, not to impress per se… because no one actually thought about what they were going to wear, right? Or so Pitchfork-goers would have you think. The trick is to look insanely trendy, while still retaining the air of someone who threw on whatever happened to be lying on their floor—which would only be feasible if said floor fed directly into a vast whimsy pit chock full o’ quirky vintage threads.
Well readers, I took on the task of wading through the whimsy pit to bring you the latest in Fork fashion: the good, the bad and the just plain baffling. The aforementioned task took on a degree of difficulty today as the sky commenced spitting all over Union Park like an overzealous Broadway actor, but I—bolstered by my love of good music and affinity for scruffily attractive hipster boys—persevered. Take a look below for today’s highlights:
Fashionable Forkers
Flowers in July Showers
Kristen Althoff, 27, and Kelly Tucker, 30, don't really pattern themselves after one pattern. These Public Enemy and Animal Collective followers know that mixing always matches.
Portrait of an Artist 
Josh Rickun seems to be channeling old school MC Hammer here. Or trying to blend in with his funky designs.
Jesus of Nazareth/Atreyu
Casey Biggs, 20, sports a prevalent trend among young music fans today-- the Indian band. Like everyone else so far, he's a fan of Animal Collective, as well as those wonders of punctuation, !!!.
The Russian Doll
Pitchfork is always replete with terrific tats. Check out Susie Sniderman's newest ink. This 28-year-old got dolled up to see Atlas Sound and Ruby Suns.
Urban Cowboy
Traditional Americana is so freaking ironic, isn't it, Ian Fitch? This 24-year-old seemed a bit confused when I asked to take his photo. He likes Animal Collective, too.
Things That Make You Go Hmmmmmm
The Michael Cera: Since when did he become a fashion plate?
The Urkel: Brace yourself...
Ear Plugs-- Brought to you by Fisher Price: Practical AND fun
Croc Hunter: She knew I was on her trail.
Check in tomorrow for more trends and tunes.
