Grunge Tailgate Fashion

V64 Spring 2010 'Come on Feel the Noise' Editorial is Heavy Metal-Approved

80s cult classics won't be silenced and the V64 Spring 2010 'Come on Feel the Noise' photo shoot amplifies this attitude. Inspired by the film 'Heavy Metal Parking Lot,' the spread showcases distressed denim, textured tops and studded accessories.

While the clothes are grunge-inspired, the hair is subdued. Models Lakshmi Menon, Jacquelyn Jablonski, and Kori Richardson stay true to the genre with long hair and piecey bangs but hold off on the frizz.

Photographed by Christian Brylie and styled by Yuki James, heavy metal tailgate fashion is red, black, and bold.
