Famed rockstar, style icon and celebrity Courtney Love recently teamed up with fashion brand Nasty Gal to offer an [affordable clothing collaboration line](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/old-navy-x-anna) inspired by the artist's unique, edgy and crass style sense. The line features a [grunge aesthetic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-october-collection) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/songs-of-siren) 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.
