100 Glamorous Grunge Editorials

From Garbage Bag Garb to Mysteriously Morbid Lookbooks

— January 25, 2012 — Fashion
While retro, ladylike fashions are taking over the runways of the world's fashion capitals, these grunge editorials showcase how glamorous the other end of the fashion spectrum can be.

From 90s inspired plaid pieces to editorial shoots full of greasy hair and ratty t-shirts, it is clear that grunge is not going anywhere anytime soon. From the days of rock bands that made grunge into a now iconic movement, like Nirvana and Alice in Chains, to modern fashion houses like Balmain that continue to carry on the style, grunge will always have a place in the hearts of fashion lovers everywhere.

From H&M lookbooks to the pages of Vogue, these grunge editorials are hard to ignore and even harder to resist.
