Fashion Meets Music Festival Reveals Line-Up

Whoever said that music and fashion go together was definitely onto something and the fact that it has taken this long to combine the two into a festival is a surprise.

A few months ago, it was revealed that a new festival that combined both music and fashion would be making its debut in Ohio later this year. At the time it was a pipe dream that was on the verge of becoming the real thing.

Now, with the reveal of the line-up of performers, this dream has quickly become a dream come true for the founders.

On the music side of the event, Circa Survive, Local Native, Parachute, Switchfoot, New Found Glory and many more have already been confirmed with the announcement that was made yesterday. On the fashion side of the event, designers such as , local designer Kelli Martin, who competed on “Project Runway” is set to appear on behalf of her brand, Alternative Fashion Mob.

The updated flyer with the performers can be seen below as well as the video which was released to announced the line-up.

Fashion Meets Music Festival (FMMF) is slated to take place from August 29-31 in Columbus, OH around the Arena District. Expo tickets start at $10 while the “Access to Excess” passes can run you $200. For more information about the festival, you can head on over to their website.

CBS’ Warning Against Inappropriate Attire

Can we label this under the “huh” files? Yesterday, it was reported that CBS had sent out a massive email to all artists attending this weekend’s Grammy Awards to cover up. They want there to be no possibility of a wardrobe malfunction happening before, during or after the televising of the annual music awards.

Here’s the entire email straight from CBS Standards and Practices team:

Date: February 5, 2013, 10:39:56 PM EST
 Subject: 55th GRAMMYS: Standard And Practice Wardrobe Advisory
***GRAMMYS 2013***-kindly confirm receipt of s&p standards-

CBS Program Practices advises that all talent appearing on camera please adhere to Network policy concerning wardrobe.

Please be sure that buttocks and female breasts are adequately covered. Thong type costumes are problematic. Please avoid exposing bare fleshy under curves of the buttocks and buttock crack. Bare sides or under curvature of the breasts is also problematic. Please avoid sheer see-through clothing that could  possibly expose female breast nipples. Please be sure the genital region is adequately covered so that there is no visible “puffy” bare skin exposure. Please avoid commercial identification of actual brand name products on T-shirts. Foreign language on wardrobe will need to be cleared. OBSCENITY OR PARTIALLY SEEN OBSCENITY ON WARDROBE IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR BROADCAST. This as well, pertains to audience members that appear on camera. Finally, The Network requests that any organized cause visibly spelled out on talent’s wardrobe be avoided. This would include lapel pins or any other form of accessory.

Some reason this feels like a publicity stunt to get more viewers to tune into the Red Carpet/ award show. What do you all think, publicity or just good “looking out”?
