Fashion Quarterly has the answer. That’s because we traversed the new Albert Park venue many times over, with the very specific aim of spotting the best style at the St. Jerome’s Laneway Festival.
The key trends we spied over and over again? Denim will forever be a festi fave, guys can’t get enough of their dungarees and gingham is having a serious moment this summer.
Click through the gallery to see what these stylish festival goers wore.
