Here we were under the blazing mid-day sun on the infield listening to Bronwen Exter, when this gorgeous breeze came up. Suddenly the diaphanous skirt captured the zeitgeist of the moment beautifully.

After Fatoumata Diawara's mind-blowing sets on the Infield and the Grandstand, I predict this bustier, mini and pattern leggings will be "must wear" for all Grassroots band leaders.
After a few hours of carrying all your belongings on your back, you start to covet your neighbor's utility kilt I have got to find out who made these harem cargo-pants
By Friday morning the fashion-istas are hung over and covered in mud and it is time to let your Grassroots fly. To do that I recommend:
this bag
And obviously a tail
Wings
The royal blue napoleon jacket I saw on a shaved head young man when my camera was back at camp.
And a Parasol
[At one point I started to feel guilty- was I some heartless paparazzi? So I screwed
up my courage and approached some of my subjects directly asking "Can I take your photo for my blog?" This Father Daughter duo was the first. They jumped right in like pros.]
In fact by the end of the weekend it seemed most people just love to vogue.
By Sunday when the happiness parade circles the festival there is only one fashion rule- let your freak flag fly.
Epilogue: The patchwork maxi proved impractical in a series of drenching rains and ensuing mud. I have visions of harem pants and feathers next year. I can't wait.
