Hey there,
"Spiegel" (similar to the american "Times" here in Germany) did a feature about fashion, youth culture and the symbiosis with (electronic) music. They sent out Burials "Untrue" album to several fashion designers and asked them to create a look for the music. Interesting results, i'd say:

this is really quite funny- not the best album to choose on which to base fashion designs. Interesting though.

:yawn:
I could design better than that. For a start, Burial's music is downbeat, dark and moody. So... that should be reflected in the clothing.

Well, its not my style but it looks ok to me. You see a lot of people dressed like that here in Berlin. I would not say that somebody is a "twat" only because he dresses like that.
@dvnt: I know what you mean... For me the ideal Burial consument looks like this:
There are comments from the designers, why they decided to do it like that, but i'm too lazy to translate it right now.

Of course people can wear what they want....even if it makes them look a bit like a nathan barley extra....

I think it's interesting at least. And it's hard to say whether or not it's "accurate" because it's such a subjective topic.

Can't see anything revelatory in flouro grey and electro hair.
Browns and greens hide gravy stains better

Burial is a dirty old hoody, some jeans and some reebok workouts.

I was hoping that there was going to be some clothes with prints of the album cover artwork on them
