PICTURES 

As stated before, I mainly wanted to target women as, as specified in previous questions, many Indie based music magazines are generally aimed at men rather then women. But I wish to exclude neither, in both cases I am targeting the Indie-rock genre and there is a particular style that is connotated with this type of music.
One of the biggest selling 'Indie' typed clothing shops is Urban Outfitters. It has a section named 'Urban renewal' which basically means that the items of clothing are pretty rare and almost completely unique. This shop sadly, is quite exspensive, so some Indie stylists turn to charity clothes for their vintage look. When we picture Indie, we often get the idea of baggy jersey tops, or big 'grandma' styled cardigans embellished with patterns, the outfit tied together with a pair of skinny jeans and numerous bracelets, garnished with gig names and places. But as style is developing so is fashion as it slowly continues to become more abstract and unique. My magazine however tries to promote the more laidback style of clothing as depicted in my two pictures. The girl with more wild unkempt hair and laidback styling, garnished with the usual bracelets and a large bulky necklace. The boy wearing the now trended large thick black rimmed glasses, high buttoned shirt and rolled up leather jacket.

I have already posted some of the music within my genre, below is a link to these posts.

But developing from that all of the bands/artists featured within my magazines are generally seen as 'Indie'. For example bands I've included such as Florence and the Machine and Example, they are bands that play at festivals and concerts such as Reading and Wireless. Stereotypically Indie people are idealised as rebellious, and often pictured wearing 'different' clothing, excessively drinking and sometimes smoking. They would most likely not often be seen watching tele, but really that would all be down to personal preferences, though they would most likely be depicted as only watching mainly music channels.
