HIGH STREET GLAM GRUNGE- MissGuided AW LookBook Photoshoot#MGBloggershoot
Grunge is a subculture of alternative rock that emerged during the mid-1980s in the American state of Washington, particularly in the Seattle area and is inspired by hardcore punk, heavy metal, and indie rock. Clothing commonly worn by grunge musicians in Washington consisted of thrift store items and the typical outdoor clothing, most notably flannel shirts, as well as a generally unkempt appearance. The style did not evolve out of a conscious attempt to create an appealing fashion;This clothing is cheap,durable and timeless. It also runs against the grain of the whole flashy aesthetic that existed in the 1980s.
Glam Grunge was adopted in the 21st century by the New Romantics, it became an even mixture of leather and shiny shoes contributed by the Rockers and Punks that has developed into a fashion statement. Hair was big, bangles were bountiful and synthesizers rocked the airwaves. The Glam Rockers were all about coloured leggings and leg-warmers, a la Fame, Cyndi Lauper and Paula Abdul, whereas the New Romantics preferred a darker look, complete with black denim, make-up for boys and shiny shoes which is influenced by Prince. Metallers also adopted the Grunge look and developed it into their own form of Glamorous grunge,Metallers are a bit smarter than grunge, and more colorful than Goths. They love to thrash out at rock concerts, only ever wear band t-shirts, have very long hair and wear a chain on their jeans. They started out in the 80s and early 90s thanks to ACDC and Metallica, and you’ll find them at the front of most mosh pits round the world, drinking–and spilling–cheap beer from a plastic cup.The long hair and chains transferred onto the catwalk and apparently taken influence from Kate Moss's younger years.
A recent take on Grunge from Philippa Morgan, a description of Glam Grunge subgenre: 'The grunge, grime and glamour from 90s fashion is back with vengeance, but today's faux-fur coats, battered boots and shredded explicit T-shirts have a more sophisticated edge. Kate Moss for Topshop's new collection champions this style revival: a decade ago the supermodel was the original poster girl for the look, now, ten years later, she's brought back ripped tights and the stayed-out-all-night look. La Moss can't take all the credit for this trend - it's been re-developing in downtown London and in international trashy-chic circles for years. Think dirty denim, Nirvana (the band, not the religious state of enlightenment), hardcore party apparel, groupie furs and dangerously rude T-shirt slogans.'
