Since its inception in 1999, Coachella has become as much of a destination for style blogging as it is for, you know, music. This Coachella, we wanted to capture some of the more uniquely dressed attendees and who better to ask to do that than one of the fashion set? FADER models to watch, boyfriends Carlos Santolalla and John Tuite, or Jarlos (kind of like the gay Kimye), were on the scene, capturing best-dressed party goers and chatting them up.
