(my article on New Yorker´s online magazine, NEW_MAG!)
The Red Hot Chili Peppers was a household name for me while growing up. I grew up listening to my older brother´s CDs, so Californication or Other Side wasn´t new to me.
I was so excited when I learned that the band was going to Cologne for a concert. I have never been to a rock concert before but the thought of dressing up for the night & a different streetstyle atmosphere was too hard to pass up!
So i packed my “rock and roll” outfit”: think studs, sneakers & of course my camera ( a blogger´s most important weapon) and hopped on a train with high expectations. I ended up wearing a different outfit than what i packed though (typical blogger syndrome!). As soon as I saw these amazing New Yorker red leather pants on my hotel room (Pullman Cologne was AMAZING!), i knew i had to wear it that night (you can check out a detailed outfit post is HERE!!) Added a pair of killer high heels and my outfit was done!
Though i didn´t know their new album “I am With You”, i wasn´t disappointed. I danced the night away with my high heels (i surprisingly survived the night with them) while Anthony Kiedis really rocked the place.
Give it Away was a nice crowning end to that really wonderful night!
After the show, armed with my camera, i wandered the premises and searched for fashionably dressed people! I found quite a lot which is very surprising for a rock concert! What do you think? I have to say honestly, there were definitely more stylish men than girls this time!
Thank you to all the people who were soo AMAZING to pose for the camera for me! <3
So all in all, this night was one for the books! Probably not my last rock concert too!
