Subculture and 2011 Catwalk

The Ashish 2011F collection shows strong influence from the Seattle “Grunge” subculture of the 1990s. The look represents a generation that followed idols such as Curt Cobain-a man  people said got his unique look from habits such abusing heroin as being “too lazy to wash his own hair.” Ironically looking good while making a statement about your hopeless future is the key to good grunge fashion.

Black, stripy tights and high heeled Victorian lace up boots were prominent features of the past Goth movement. Today, the high heeled Victorian heels can be found in both black and in colors more reflective of the 90s Grunge fashion. The recycled relaxed fitting denim screams 90s Grunge. The color palette of the earlier movement from the 90s focused on Black. Dark rich purples, reds and greens also made an appearance but now they are the focus of the current refinement of the Goth Fashion Revival.

Frankie Morello 2011F features strong influence from the Rockabilly subculture.  This is the look of youth in the earliest days of American rock and roll, before the “British Invasion” and hippie days.  Rockabilly fashion’s renewed popularity was a dream come true for Grandma (finally, young people appreciated the beauty of those ridiculous hairstyles she and her friends had been spending their time and money to get done every week for the past half century),and also for full-figured women of all ages who could look their hottest in high waistlines and  low necklines.  The younger generations brought the classic look back and added their own style with plentiful tattoo motifs, as reflected in Morello’s collection.

Balmain 2011S collection shows us the power of seemingly simple themes in subcultures.  Punk clothing was originally meant as a kind of “anti-fashion,” a statement against materialism, but it quickly evolved into its own unique fashion genres.  Glam or “Glitter” Punk’s subculture is known for its colorful, androgynous look.  It rejects old norms but creates its own new standards and potential for aesthetic expression.  Balmain showed us just how effective torn, bleach-stained clothing fixed up with too many safety pins could be as a vehicle for this expression.

 fashion designers have gotten us used to, the new spring summer 2011 fashion trends are absolutely amazing and diverse, allowing women to be selective when it comes to choosing the perfect outfit. People have different preferences when it comes to fashion this is why diversity in fashion is absolutely necessary.

One of the coolest spring summer 2011 fashion trends is the glam-punk trend. This fashion trend differentiates itself from the other fashion trends through the distinctive style of the clothes as well as colors.

Usually women with a powerful personality and a unique fashion style turn towards this fashion style which is not only comfortable but stylish as well. Sometimes sexiness is not all about feminine, revealing clothes and vaporous or luxurious fabrics, sexiness can also be underlined through individuality as well; individuality, uniqueness are a magnet when it comes to capturing attention and being unique or different can be a great thing when it comes to fashion and style.
