Famed rockstar, style icon and celebrity Courtney Love recently teamed up with fashion brand Nasty Gal to offer an affordable clothing collaboration line inspired by the artist's unique, edgy and crass style sense. The line features a grunge aesthetic that takes inspiration from Love's years as the front woman of the band Hole in the 90's.
Love is known for having a expertly undone and punk aesthetic that is quintessential of the 90's era. The collaborative line features a contrasting mix of feminine yet grunge pieces such as short dresses with lace, fringe and girly patterns coupled with chocker necklaces, thigh-high socks and ripped fishnet stockings. According to fashion blog Fashionista, the collection is described as having a "badass lingerie you can wear everyday" design focus.
