In the vintage clothing world, there’s a moment when one day you’ll find your childhood wardrobe on sales hangers. About five years ago, CC Indivero and Mike Huddleston of GVG Events started seeing clothes that they wore as kids in the summer of 1996. “At first, I laughed, like they think what I wore when I was 11 is cool, but now, it’s everywhere.”

For its 12th year, Shaky Knees Music Festival moved both its location (from Central Park to Piedmont Park) and its season (from spring to fall). But there was no shortage of talent thanks to headliners like Blink-182, Deftones, Cage the Elephant, Lenny Kravitz, My Chemical Romance, and Vampire Weekend, and certainly no shortage of creative concertgoer outfits. Here, a small sampling of some of the looks we saw while out and about at the festival.

James Keith wanted to wear a fedora with his outfit for New Year’s Eve 2015, but he couldn’t find one that quite fit the bill. A year after he conceived his design, he finally got the hat he wanted on his head. On the back of that one fateful night—and hat—he founded his brand, Keith James.

This time of year, the sheer volume of Halloween goods can make the macabre feel mundane. And yet, for those whose spooky sensibilities know no season, it can be difficult to find quality items more in the tradition of a memento mori than a winking “witch’s brew” wineglass. Enter Nic Morgan of Hireth Jewelry, a talented metalsmith creating wearable works of art primarily in silver and polished stone. Hireth’s motifs revolve around the natural world—living and dead—with a touch of the supernatural.

Meaning “breathe” in German (in addition to spelling Metta backward), ATTEM is a representation of Metta Conchetta’s personal style, which leans toward the androgynous. “I love experimenting with the feminine and masculine,” she says. It’s a combination of the professionalism that Conchetta says was ingrained in her German upbringing, and her street-style perspective.

Now in its 12th year of operation, Maelu is the marriage of Meghna Davé’s Indian heritage and American spirit. Collaborating with three block printers in India that specialize in different techniques, she combines the traditional with the modern. Her focus is on natural fibers, sustainable practices, and well-made pieces.

For some, dressing the part is just as important as how you play the game of pickleball. A new collection, CROSBY by Mollie Burch x La Point, debuted from two Atlanta-based brands recently to help those who want to look stylish while playing achieve that goal. CROSBY by Mollie Burch is a ready-to-wear brand that was founded in 2015, is known for its bold and bright original prints in feminine, easy-to-wear silhouettes. La Point, founded last year by Lindsey Catone, is a pickleball paddle and accessory brand.

It’s impossible not to notice the bright exterior at the corner of Oakdale Road and McLendon Avenue in Candler Park. Painted saturated tones of purple, pink, and green, the building formerly housed a gas station, thrift store, and, most recently, a Hungarian bakery pop-up in the driveway. The striking makeover is courtesy of Space Queen, a new vintage retail concept and community arts center from Michelle Norris and Forrest Aguar, the duo behind creative studio Tropico Photo.

No one rocks the merch quite like the students and alumni of historically Black colleges and universities. Have you planned your Homecoming wardrobe?

Last year, we photographed some of the incredible looks we spotted at the aquatic-themed celebration of all-things EDM. As this year's Imagine Music Festival kicks off, let's take a look back.
