# Alternative Rocker Beauty Tributes Vogue Italia Beauty's Latest Issue is Inspired by Courtney Love By Jana Pijak | Published 2015-02-06 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alternative-rocker-beauty References: [beautyscene.net](http://www.beautyscene.net/beauty-shoots/ola-rudnicka-for-vogue-italia-by-richard-burbridge/) & [vogue.it](http://www.vogue.it) Ola Rudnicka stars in an alternative rocker beauty editorial that is lensed for the pages of [Vogue](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nft-collection2) Italia. The Vogue Italia Beauty cover story graces the publication's February 2015 issue and is an homage to Hole singer Courtney Love. Known for her turbulent marriage to late [Nirvana](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freaks-store-1) rocker Kurt Kobain, Courtney has always been an icon when it comes to grungy fashion and alternative rocker beauty. Photographer Richard Burbridge captures supermodel Ola as she pulls of wet-haired and messy blonde locks, bleached brows and bold lips that are a Courtney Love signature. She experiments with purple streaks and matching lipstick hues along with harshly drawn brows and red lip color applications. Styling for this editorial is courtesy of Robbie Spencer who works alongside hair stylist Yannick D'is and Makeup artist Marla Belt. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.8/10 - Popularity: 65% | Activity: 40% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/stylephotography) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Alternative Rocker Beauty:** Opportunity to create beauty products and styles inspired by the alternative rock subculture. - **Grungy Fashion:** Opportunity to design fashion lines influenced by the grunge style made popular by icons like Courtney Love. - **Bold Lips:** Opportunity to develop bold and vibrant lip colors that appeal to consumers seeking alternative makeup looks. ### Where This Applies - **Beauty:** The beauty industry can leverage alternative rocker beauty trends to create unique products and marketing campaigns. - **Fashion:** Fashion brands can incorporate elements of grungy fashion into their designs and appeal to a niche market. - **Cosmetics:** Cosmetics companies can capitalize on the trend of bold lips and create innovative lip products in unique shades and finishes. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Restyled Cinematic Makeup Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/il-pranzo-campaign.md) - [Edgy 90s-Style False Lashes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kiss-lash-couture-rebel-collection.md) - [90s Grunge-Inspired Fall Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-october-collection.md) - [Cinematic Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandro-micheles.md) - [Punk Rock-Informed Fall Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superculture-collection.md) - [Intimate Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velvet-heat.md) - [Disco-Glamour Beauty Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rendezvous-ivory.md) - [Contemporary Femininity Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-femininity.md) - [Surrealist Beauty Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toiletpaper-magazine.md)
