(Radio.com) All the eye-catching and elaborate costumes you've seen Karen O of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs wear onstage since the beginning of the band were created by her friend and design compatriot Christian Joy.

In this edition of Style Files, the Brooklyn-based costume designer told us that for the band's latest album, Mosquito, she and Karen collaborated on a new look they've never explored before: suits.

A few have been on display already, but you'll see even more as she takes the stage to play Coachella, Great Googamooga, Firefly Music Festival, and T in the Park.

Watch as Joy explains how she dresses Karen O for the stage, the politics of androgynous costuming and how you should dress for this summer music festival season here.
