In Partnership with Burberry
Festivals have never just been about the music. They’re cultural checkpoints, part runway, part riot, part religious experience. And nowhere is that more evident than in the legacy of Brit Pop.
What started as a sonic rebellion became a full-blown aesthetic movement. Bucket hats, parkas, pin badges, and purposeful swagger—these weren’t just looks, they were identities. Today, those style codes echo through the fields, reimagined by a new generation blending nostalgia with innovation, attitude with artistry.
But this isn’t about costume—it’s about culture. The events, looks and moods captured in these pages aren’t replicas, they’re reinterpretations. They nod to the past while marching confidently forward, worn by those who understand that self-expression doesn’t wait for a headliner. Whether it’s a glint of metallic mesh, a trench reimagined for the dance tent, or a pair of wellies that scream subversion, festival style is still where fashion dares to be loudest.
In our July zine, we deep-dive into the festival, musical and wardrobe revival of the era that changed everything. We explore how festival fashion continues to evolve without losing its edge. A visual mixtape for a new generation. A love letter to the clash of sound and style. A reminder that when the music hits, what you wear matters just as much as what you hear.
See you in the pit.
Rolling Stone AU/NZ – The Brit Pop Era zine will be available across Sydney from July 14 at all the good cafes, bars, music venues, barbers and hair salons and exclusively in store at Burberry. Grab one while they last.
