History of grunge style

History of grunge style The grunge style originally appeared as a direction in music. In the 80s, the bands Nirvana, Soundgarden became popular in the United States, whose songs and behavior were rebellious, daring. Fans liked this behavior of the idols, and they adopted their habits, clothes and philosophy – defiance, denial, protest. Gradually, the disheveled look and cheeky behavior attracted the American youth. Nirvana For a long time, designers were indifferent to the non-standard, for some even aggressive and provocative style in clothing. Only Marc Jacobs for several years watched the development of the grunge style - visited places of congestion of young people, watched vagrants on the streets.

It was Jacobs who became the pioneer of grunge for high fashion. He released his first rebellious collection in 1993 and immediately faced a wave of misunderstanding. Fashion connoisseurs did not immediately realize that "orphan girls" in sundresses in flowers and rough shoes are stylish and bold. The collection also includes trench coats, shirts, sweaters. Mark Jacobs Collection Mark listened to a lot of humiliating comments, for example, critics made jokes about the origin of clothes, referring to the fact that the appearance of all items of the runway wardrobe dominates the assortment of second-hand. In 2018, the designer announced the re-release of the collection - he recreated all 26 models of the first grunge collection.

5 principles of grunge

  1. Multi-layered. In this, grunge is similar to boho, where the complexity of images and the abundance of layers in clothing are also welcomed;Multi-layered
  2. Non-standard combination of things, textures, styles. For example, a light cotton shirt and rough boots, or a dress made of chintz and a knitted cardigan;Non-standard combination of things
  3. Convenience. This is one of the basic principles – it does not matter whether things are combined in the opinion of the public, the main thing is that they are comfortable;
  4. Sloppiness. In the grunge style, the clothes are intentionally sloppy, sometimes even specially aged. Especially ardent adherents are untidy - in washed T-shirts, for example, but more often external sloppiness is combined with cleanliness and freshness of clothes;Sloppiness
  5. Dark colors. The basis of the grunge wardrobe is clothes of muted, dark shades that are opposed to glamour. Over time, fashion designers increasingly produce more positive colors, but adherents of the style, even white dresses or T-shirts manage to make gloomy due to the layering of dark jackets, jackets, vests.
