Secret Garden is arriving for another sold-out forest disco this weekend, and for those who were lucky enough to snag tickets, there’s no doubt that you’re looking for some last-minute costume ideas to complete your other-worldly experience.
After taking on Laneway Festival and Sugar Mountain, denim experts Wrangler will be bringing their denim exchange to Secret Garden, where you trade your pre-loved denim for a brand new pair. It’s going down at The Wrangler Pub, where the likes of Body Type, Shantan Wantan Ichiban and Bad Deep will also be spinning tunes galore.
Ahead of the antics, we’ve hit up some of the Secret Garden artists performing at The Wrangler Pub to name their royal rave style icons for some healthy costume inspiration. See their eccentric picks below, and check them out this weekend with Wrangler:
BODY TYPE – DAVID BOWIE
Riff raff royalty. The babe with the power. Dangerous, alluring, mulletted magic perfect for a deep, dark glam-goth rave look.
PURPLE SNEAKERS DJ’S – EDDIE MURPHY
Eddie Murphy in ‘Coming To America’ is the literal KING of all pop culture royalty. Not only is this Eddie Murphy at his finest, he also defined the term ‘bling’ before we all even knew what it meant! And… The shoulder pads on that jacket!
SHANTAN WANTAN ICHIBAN – PRINCESS MONONOKE
Studio Ghibli heroines over Disney princesses hands down! While Disney was teaching young girls that finding a handsome prince was their only chance at salvation, Studio Ghibli created wildly imaginative tales with no absolute good or evil, firm environmental themes, led by strong (often non-violent) female adventurers. Princess Mononoke is one of said environmental warriors. Adopted daughter of the Wolf Goddess, she is the sworn enemy of humanity and protector of the forest spirits with a boss ass outfit to boot. Want to dress to impress at Secret Garden? Why not don the blood of your fallen foes – Princess Mononoke style.
BEC SANDRIDGE – JESSIE J
I saw Jesse J perform at this festival in Scotland where she broke her leg and she sung like a queen on a throne. It was phenomenal. Amazing body suit, amazing bangs, amazing throne.
BAD DEEP DJ’S – SKEPTA
Bad Deep is all about guilty floor-fillers, bad wordplay and Photoshop.
