From Magnetic Fields 2019, snapshots of the most original festival fashion

The recently concluded 2019 Magnetic Fields was the seventh edition of what is arguably the most exciting music festival in India. Taking place every year in Alsisar Mahal in Rajasthan, this is a three-day micro universe of outstanding music that plays until well after dawn, with fantastic visuals and stunning lighting to accompany the dance floor sounds, amazing performances, delicious food — and of course, incredible festival fashion.With local and international artists curated from across the board to entertain the attendees day and night, it is the attendees themselves who are out to grab attention when it comes to their outfits. Most people change outfits at least once per day, many changing twice, not least because of the contrast of hot days and cold night in the Rajasthan desert in December. With up to 5,000 people in attendance that’s a lot of outfits over the course of the three-day long festival. All this makes for quite a heady mix of colour, glitter, patterns, textures and styles!Here’s a look at the festival fashion spotted around Alsisar Palace this year:[imgcenter][/imgcenter](L) Rupal Gaggar, MumbaiKnee length gladiator sandals by Aprajita Toor | Upcycled Fashion Jacket by Flame(R) Manuel Bravo, LondonOutfit designed by his own label, Bravoatelier[imgcenter][/imgcenter](L) Shaireen Butt, DarjeelingOutfit by 145 East, designed in collaboration with Monica Dogra (R) Kavya Tehran, DelhiBlue indigo dye dress by Anokhi | Necklace by Amrapali | Shades by Ray-Ban | Choker made by her |Earrings borrowed from her mother[imgcenter][/imgcenter](L) Polina Schapova.
