already under
her belt, she is more than well accomplished in music and has a natural ability when performing. Indie music is easily defined whether it is by the music itself or the fashion that goes along with it. An artist’s individualism is not only represented through their music, but through themselves and their sense of style. Just like music, fashion is a form of art, creativity and self-expression. It offers the opportunity to create your own style and be whoever you want to be. As shown in the pictures, one is able to observe how Samantha displays her herself and individualism through her ensemble. She has more of a softer edge. She wears an assortment of prints and textures, but also is very simple. Her style is very sweet and youthful. We can see this in her performance at EPCOR CENTRE’s TransCanada Alberta Music Series in 2010.

Many people think that with fashion and dressing really nice consists of spending a lot of money. But in reality, trying to manipulate a look can be achieved in a very adorable way. The Indie style is unique as it has the artist’s or person’s own personal touch. Not only that, but it is also hipster. Now, when you desire to achieve the “Indie Style” like Samantha, you look at pieces that are more soft and less edgy. Also, it is very easy to do on a budget! When going to purchase out clothing, one must always keep in mind that even though they are trying to achieve someone else style, they must have their own personality in it! Be positive and open minded because confidence and time are what I takes to transform into any look.

An outfit consists of many parts whether it’s the shirt one chooses to wear to the shoes they decide to goes with it. More baby doll or looseswaying tops would most definitely work for this look. For the Indie look, tanks or loose off the shoulder tops would definitely work. Flattering simple dresses fit this look as well, as they are soft and sweet. All these do not have to be just one solid colour, but could have some trendy prints. Also one thing to stress, is the shirts do not have to be skin tight to be very flattering and tasteful. These pieces can also be paired with any jean or pair of leggings. Cardigans are pieces that everyone should own-in many styles, textures, prints and colours as well. Accessories and footwear are big components to any fashion. Leather boots add edginess or casualness to an outfit depending on ones choice of style of colour. Flat shoe is also good for this look as it adds a sense of simplicity. Every one including Indie artists should have a wife range of variety of accessories. Samantha is seen wearing chunkier and bulkier jewellery, but she chooses to mix it with simpler pieces as well. Her taste in jewelry is more vintage and will add a really nice touch to an outfit. So, if you wish to achieve a very Indie and fashionable look like Samantha go for it! But remember to include your own self-expression. Be sure to have fun with it and when wearing it, strut with confidence!

Maura Kennedy is a Pop/Indie/Rock artist who is beyond talented. While keeping up a busy schedule of shows and acting gigs, she finished her

album in the autumn of 2009, “Parade of Echoes”. Indie pop is a genre of alternative rock music. Having an independent approach is fulfilling in many ways as it can be used in many aspects, not just through music, but through fashion. Maura expresses herself through her music and shares with the world what she wants to say through her lyrics. Her individualism is also portrayed through her sense of style. It is about making a statement and being whoever you want to be. It is about passion and freedom. As shown in the pictures, Maura represents her individualism and true character through her choice of attire. She is seen to always be dresses in a variety of prints and textures. Her style is very bold and unique.

The first thing that may pop in your head is where to start. Well any clothing article will work for this look! A summer dress of different styles are great because they can be worn all year round and can be worn so differently. Perhaps try a simple style or one that’s trendier with prints and texture. Shirts shirts shirts! It’s for sure all about the design. From long sleeve to short sleeve to no sleeve, find some that have an interesting look and stand out. For pants, well…here we have a variety to pick from. Skinny jeans or leggings can be worn with anything. Leggings come in many textures and colours. Sodepending on what mood or style you wish to try, pick what fits to that! Layer a dress and a jacket with leggings or perhaps just a simple top with a pair of them. Jackets play a big role in an outfit also. She is seen wearing many different styles. From Short to blazer cut to very long. They are also not your typical monochromatic colours, as they are to be in colour. Not only that, but they are also of different textures. So when you go to pick out an jacket to go with your very trendy outfit, try velvet or sued or even corduroyed material. The texture will definitely add a nice touch to the outfit. Finally, the outfit is almost complete! All you need are a nice choice of accessories and shoes. In achieving Maura’s look, accessories add that final touch. She wears much simpler jewellery such as a pearl necklace or jut a simple chain with a pendant on it. Simple costume jewellery will work the best for this look!

So if you like to stand out, then achieving this look is definitely for you! This look is all about colour, layering and a sense of difference. Her style incorporates all the favourite pieces-sometimes in one outfit! Now one may think to go about having this look will cost a fortune, when I fact it doesn’t! It can be put together in an affordable way just by going to your favourite stores and picking out pieces that you like and say something about you. The trick is how you chose to put the pieces together! Experimenting and having fun because that is what fashion is about-experimenting and putting together what you though would never work!

Concert for underprivileged children in Vietnam and Mongolia – The Association Christina Noble and HorizonVU Music join forces








By Angélique Joly, Marketing Manager, HorizonVU Music

Music is an integral part of the lives of children. With an aim for creating awareness of and providing support for The Association Christina Noble http://www.asso-christina-noble.fr , the humanitarian organization that provides aid and comfort to underprivileged children in Vietnam and Mongolia, a concert is planned for 30 June 2011, 20h00.

The show which will take place at La Pomme d’Eve , 1 rue Laplace, 75005 Paris, admission 5€, features rising pop artist LYNETTE with Max Jean-Louis, Pierre-Yann Bellego and Fabrice Hoarau performing their latest original material and popular covers which have earned them recognition.

The Association Christina Noble is a humanitarian organization that provides aid and comfort to underprivileged children in Vietnam and Mongolia. It represents, in France, “Christina Noble Children’s Foundation.

The Association Christina Noble is completely independent of any political affiliation and / or religious and acts for:

  • The protection of children against exploitation
  • Education and employability
  • Medical Care
  • Accommodation

The Association’s work is not limited to these areas. It also trying to bring warmth and happy experiences that constitute a real childhood and its

work is in the context of family and community whenever possible. Efforts are focused on respecting the dignity of each individual child.

Lynette sings with the confidence and clarity of a woman who really knows her own voice. Which makes sense, since she says she’s been singing for as long as she can remember. Writing her first song at the tender age of seven, Lynette knew music would always be a big part of her life. She began classical voice training at the age of eleven.

Since having graduated from Princeton University, Lynette has had the opportunities to do some

songwriting and recording at various studios in Nashville. Her studies, extensive travels, life experiences and the friends she’s made along the way have helped to significantly shape her musical tastes and writing and performance styles.

Lynette’s lyrics have a poetic quality and bring to bear the power and multiplicity of words. Her music attempts to express and illuminate the power of common, shared experiences: life, love and hope. Lynette is currently working on an EP.

HorizonVU Music is about the coming together of hopes and dreams – a dynamic, changing view toward the future which

can be attained – with the love of music. HorizonVU Music focuses on the developing careers of emerging artists in rock, alternative and folk. HorizonVU Music CEO, and Promoter, Phil Cartwright said earlier today, “It’s a privilege to be a part of something so special. It’s a great chance for us to help kids that need us so very much.”
