The indie culture is based largely around the arts: music, films, photography etc and so I thought it would be appropriate to create an outfit for a gallery.

The Lowry Gallery, Salford Quays specialises in exhibitions centred around Art and Entertainment. Defining Me: Musical Adventures in Manchester, is on from September 28^th- February 23^rd 2014 and celebrates Greater Manchester’s musical heritage. 

Using Morrissey from The Smiths as a muse for this outfit I created a baggy and basic silhouette.  The signature white t-shirt is an affordable £16 in Topshop and the spotty shirt would be worn over the top for £29.99 at Zara. Surprisingly, I found the simplicity of the clothes in Zara to be very suited to the indie look if styled in a relaxed and effortless way.

ASOS Marketplace is great for picking up original vintage pieces, which are key to indie style, and this practical satchel is £38.

On the higher price end are the shoes for £155 at f-troupe in Soho and the box pleat skirt found at ‘& other stories’ for £65. I like the contrast between the smart skirt and the baggy shirt.
