The NY Times looks at some of New York's indie elite in their Men's Style Magazine this weekend. So incase you were wondering what last night's SNL music guests, Vampire Weekend, wear when they aren't decked out in their Columbia University alum apparel, now you know: Marc Jacobs. Or at least that's how The Times translates it.
They include a tip to aspiring designers as well, those "searching for indie cred need look no further than a Pitchfork review. Here, a few rising alt-rockers whose style is as distinctive as their sound." Indie and fashion mixed on the runway this past Fashion Week as well; designers Basso & Brooke and Jens Laugesen soundtracked their shows with Battles, Chloé used Santogold, and Abaete used Vampire Weekend.
Also featured in The Times article are Beirut, Grizzly Bear and non-New Yorkers Deerhunter. Visit their closets here

Wow. Even the Times is calling out VW on the Graceland rip-offs and prep style.

A fella with a guitar case could fall off the Greyhound from Omaha and already be dressed appropriately for Brooklyn (or Berlin or Shanghai).

Every couple of years the schtick gets revived and gets the kids all spooked. It's like the herpes of rock fashion.
Ooooh, it's like Weezer all over again! How precious, indie, and unique!

Hipsters were mocked by King of the Hill last night. I think it was the first time Arlen, TX, seemed similar to Brooklyn, NY.
