Ballad Of…Trends

By Charlotte Hoyle
Recent fashion times has seen an explosion of the rockstar esque model, more IT girl than supermodel these pioneers of anti-fashion personify London's energetic fashion scene. Leading the brat pack are Alice Dellal and Daisy Lowe, both born from the glitterati of fashion they favour a grunge meets gothic style, something which recently has been emulated on the catwalk and the high street.

Their look is rebellious and provocative - rubber corsets, fitted t-shirts, black lipstick and macabre jewelry by designer Dominic Jones merges the world of fashion and fetish. Now seen on the likes of Lily Allen and Lizzy Jagger the new age of the rock chic is most defiantly in vogue. Wear with confidence whilst listening to Lady Gaga who herself took on the look in her video 'Love Game'. Don't overdo it keep it sexy and wear with an air of 'who gives a f**k?' London style.
