I wonder if Kurt Cobain would have ever thought that his personal style would influence the world of fashion, more than ten years post (Giles (middle) & Proenza Schouler (bottom right) s/s '10 anyone?). How can someone who cares so little about 'the World of Fashion' become inspiration for so many people who make their living off of it? Plaid shirts, doc martens, jeans: boyfriend style & jackets, & oversize sweaters have become a M.O.D.* staple, but really, all Kurt was trying to do was to self-consciously cover up his body.
The next step in grunge that has come (almost) mainstream is cotton candy hair. Hair that was once dyed with a household substance like bleach or Kool Aid, has grown out and faded to a dull, beachy mass. I'm totally into it.
What keeps this look in true Cobain spirit is if you keep this look totally, genuinely low maintenance. I confess, Bumble & Bumble surf spray is beneficial to the straight texture of my hair (which can never be naturally beachy), but this does not replace a day at the beach; drying your salt soaked hair in the sun. Think grunge surfer (& add some sideways egg glasses).
Try it out- Kool Aid fades out after a few rinses anyways...that is if you wash your hair...
