Glam Rock

Lastly, we come to Glam Rock - My Personal Favourite. We have all seen the revival of leather jackets, raccoon inspired makeup lol and 'Bold' Rock & Roll inspired fashion choices. At a glance, Glam Rock embodies many Emo/Gothic traits but its so much more than that! Its more glamourised to make it stand out and look edgy and fierce. Most of the clothes are Balmain inspired giving it an edgy look, combined with ripped denim and crazy leather boots/shoes. Celebrities have embodied this trend to the max, Mary-Kate Olsen and Taylor Momsen are the reckless, bad-ass blondes who glamorize rock-inspired fashion. The term Glam Rock Girls is fitting for them because of their combination of beach blonde hair, dark eyes, bright lips, leather, plaid shirts, over-sized clothes, and so on... Here are a few of their outfits that illustrate their "It's just Rock n Roll" style.

To begin with Glam rock, was not a fashion. It was actually a style of rock and pop music that developed in the UK in the early 70s. The peformers wore outrageous clothes, makeup and hairstyles, (particularly platform-soled boots and glitter) which broke the mould of mainstrem fashion. The flamboyant costumes and visual styles of glam performers were often camp or androgynous giving leway to a whole new era.

This subculture has taken the fashion world by storm; all the top designers have collaborated the look into their lines.

To get a better, feel of the subculture - I wanted to hear someones experience of this overnight craze which expanded and has been revived. I found a blog written by someone who lived through it, check it out: http://www.70sglamrock.com/ To my understand the Glam Rock era was full of fun and it was a time where people really experimented and embraced all aspects of life. It might not be the same today but 'Glam Rock' still exists somwhere within the fashion.
