Refreshingly some true fashionistas have entered the world of music, where for me their style surpasses their musicianship. A prime example is the gorgeous Florence + the Machine &#8211; her look is truly unique and uncompromising, her innate talent undeniable, her music&#8230;is not yet to my taste (although I&#8217;m only 2 listens into the album.) Sometimes the hype surrounding these artistes is overwhelming, almost as if the industry cannot contain itself at the musical enigma it is presented with.
