Festivals: the fan’s view
To immortalise what seems to be a year that is heavier than ever with vibrant, costume heavy festivals – think dandies, bathers and Buddhas; burlesque, donkeys and wasps – creative agency Independents United has produced the Festival Annual. The tome features pictures taken by the agency’s professional snappers, as well as by festival-goers. The Independent
The Big Picture
The festival season is over, but you can reminisce about this summers high jinks thanks to the Festival Annual project. Photographers took portraits at the main festivals for a book out on 19 October 09. The Observer

Festival fashion celebrated in new book
Wellies are so last season... it’s all about neon, morphsuits, horse heads and mankinis in 2009's Festival Annual
Britain’s first ever annual dedicated to the British summer institution that is the festival season illustrates the rise of the weird and wonderful of British fashion styles.
In the absence of style queen Kate Moss, this year’s festival-going public has found their own identity, going bright, bold, loud and downright outlandish.
The must have fashion item of 2008 was Ray Ban Wayfarers and 2007 was all about straw hats. Few would have thought that morphsuits, neon, plastic horse heads and mankinis would be where it’s at in 2009, but Festival Annual proves
Festival Annual launches on October 19 and is filled with pictures from some of the UK's biggest and coolest festivals. Times Online
