THIS PAGE IS INSPIRED BY THE STYLE OF STEVIE NICKS (SUNDAY MAGAZINE)
BOHO BELLE
10.25.09
Katie Newton suggests embracing your ‘70s gypsy with a luxurious take on bohemian style
In honour of Fleetwood Mac’s December tour, this page is inspired by the style of Stevie Nicks. With her long blonde hair, husky voice and fondness for flowing chiffon, Nicks fronted the band during its most popular period and went on to become one of the most loved women in music.
She has also, it has to be said, become something of a style icon. Hers is a look that’s a world away from that of the flesh-baring nymphettes in music today, but one that saw her become one of the sex symbols of the ‘70s. Although there are people who have never stopped dressing like their idol, most others ( who are old enough) abandoned the look during the glam ‘80s and minimalist ‘90s.
But now, more than 30 years after the hit album Rumours, chichi boutiques and top-end designers are stocking such garb all over again.
Bear in mind, Nicks’ look is not that hippy-dippy Haight-Ashbury one that Sienna Miller made famous during her Jude Law days. It is instead a much more luxurious take on bohemian style. It’s about texture and layering and exquisite fabrics, teamed with confidence, glossy hair and groomed nails. Parts of Trelise Cooper’s collections are a good place to start, as is Vivienne Westwood’s Anglomania range.
While cheaper items can be thrown in the mix, buying the whole lot from the bargain bin won’t have the desired effect. Quality accessories are a key component, with the hand-crafted luxury of brands like Henry Beguelin particularly apt. Look for textural elements such as fringing, crochet and faux fur to incorporate. And although some crucial elements, like her plumed top hat and teetering platform boots, are missing on this page, I hope to see plenty of examples gracing the New Plymouth crowd come December 19.
MICK FLEETWOOD INTERVIEW IN DUBLIN
By JEROME REILLY
Sunday October 25 2009
Independent
If one band summed up the hedonistic eighties more than any other, it was Fleetwood Mac.
Now founder member Mick Fleetwood admits that it was early to bed on Friday night in Dublin in advance of their two gigs at the 02 Arena.
He's a little shamefaced to say that he had dinner at his hotel with his sister, who travelled over from Cornwall with a mutual friend.
"A lovely quiet evening. The old hedonism sometimes rears its head when I discover I've had too much wine but these days we are all very well- behaved. It's one glass of wine and five glasses of water."
The band has been exploring Dublin.
"Lindsey (Buckingham) loves walking and loves architecture so he was off exploring the city. He seems to always find his way back to the hotel in time for the gig."
The current tour features Buckingham and Stevie Nicks along with the legendary rhythm section of Fleetwood on drums and John McVie on bass.
Despite their best efforts it proved impossible to lure Christine McVie, writer of some of their biggest hits, out of a self-enforced retirement.
"Christine hates flying, which is something of a impediment when it comes to a world tour. We are still all close to Christine and looking forward to catching up with her in London," he says.
But before that there may be another reunion.
Peter Green, the original creative genius behind Fleetwood Mac during their heydey as one of the most influential British blues bands, is playing the Academy on Monday night with his own band.
"Is Peter playing? Brilliant, it's my night off. I would love to go. When I'm not with Fleetwood Mac I have my own little band playing small venues and we play all of the old stuff that Peter created. I'm so glad you told me that," he added.
Last night's gig at the 02 was a sell-out but there are still tickets left for tonight's concert promoted by MCD.
Mick is convinced that there is another album in the band -- possibly next year.
"We are all up for it but Stevie is a little bit reluctant to commit to a time."
"I truly hope we get it together. It's tough committing to a new album. Stevie works incredibly hard and she is the lady of the band.
"We are trying not to really discuss it yet," he added.
REVIEW: My night with Fleetwood Mac - Dublin, Ireland
By: Chris
So here we go again, we want ... well ... to be transported back to the days before kids and mortgages and middle-age spread. And surely none better to take us there than Fleetwood Mac; to those warm summers soundtracked by Stevie Nicks, singing to us from a million miles away.
And it is a promising start - 'Monday Morning','The Chain', 'Dreams' ... . But the setlist is odd, not so much the content - all the big numbers are present - but rather the running order. Stevie sings 'Rhiannon', so Lindsey sings 'Tusk' to a standing ovation. So Stevie follows with 'Sara', which Lindsey tops with a stunning solo take on 'Big Love'. It dawns on me, it's a competition and we are in charge of the clap-o-meter.
In Stevie's mind this is clearly her band. But everyone else in the room knows that the stage belongs to Lindsey Buckingham. His voice is stronger than ever and his guitar technique is jaw-droppingly brilliant. In her head, and truth be told in mine too, Stevie is that sylph like girl from '77 with the lace shawls and high-heel boots. On stage tonight her voice occasionally grates, she fiddles with the control to her earpiece, and she walks around flat-footed in what appear to be a pair of orthopedic shoes. Lindsey Buckingham on the other hand prowls the stage like a raptor, wringing stinging solos from his guitar.
There is much made of the main players' past relationships, and for the encore Stevie and Lindsey come back on stage holding hands. It's like a Broadway show or a daytime soap. It made me want to see a Lindsey Buckingham solo show, or Stevie with an orchestra, or order the vegetarian option ... give me something without the ham.
Don't get me wrong, it's a slick show, it has the songs, it has the musicianship, it just doesn't click. Maybe it's just me. 1977? I guess I'm never going back again. :-)
Note to the O2 Dublin: When I spend €100 on a ticket to see Fleetwood Mac I don't necessarily expect to have Stevie Nicks blow cocaine up my arse during the interval, but nor do I expect to have a restricted view seat. (We complained, they moved us)
