While Coachella is all about taking in the music, it’s undeniable that the affair has also become an opportunity to be seen in one’s best statement ensembles. Shayk certainly views Coachella as a fashion spectacle, and the model says the festival is always an opportune time to think outside of the box and experiment with her style. “Coachella, for me, is a perfect opportunity to have some extra fun with your looks, and try looks that may be a bit out of your comfort zone and that you wouldn’t get the chance to wear at other events,” says Shayk.
This weekend, Shayk described her festival style as “chic, relaxed, and comfortable” with a big emphasis on pulling out vintage pieces from her own archive. “I love mixing some of my favorite designer pieces and really amazing vintage pieces, to create super unique looks,” Shayk says. “Coachella is a great opportunity to recycle some looks you’ve had in your closet for a while and mix and match them in a new and fun way.” Some of her personal highlights from this weekend? She paired a black leather Burberry bikini with Vivienne Westwood shoes and Rick Owens sunglasses; a colorful Versace bra top with a vintage paisley Etro skirt; or a vintage khaki Yves Saint Laurent jumpsuit with wild leopard print Versace boots. Shayk says she collects such archival pieces from stores around the world. “I love popping into vintage shops, whether that’s in New York or when I am traveling, because you really get the chance to find really unique pieces,” says Shayk.
