# Grunge Chic Fashion The Dahse Magazine 'The Chapters' Issue Stars a Moody Carolina Sjostrand By Meghan Young | Published 2013-02-08 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dahse-magazine-the-chapters References: [fashiongonerogue](http://fashiongonerogue.com/carolina-sjostrand-grunge-chic-for-dahse-magazine-by-ceen-wahren/) & [dahsemagazine](http://www.dahsemagazine.com/) Grunge has never looked as chic as it does in the Dahse Magazine 'The Chapters' editorial. Although that sentence might seem like a contradiction in and of itself, the images speak for themselves. Dark and moody, there is an undone quality to the otherwise elegantly put together ensembles that allow them to be described as 'grunge chic.' It helps that they were shot in an abandoned dilapidated home. The Dahse Magazine 'The Chapters' editorial was captured by Ceen Wahren, a photographer based in Sweden. Appearing in the publication's Another Place issue, it stars model Carolina Sjöstrand. The Swedish beauty was outfitted by stylist Nicole Walker in [military-esque long coats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-nicholson-fw25), [patterned dresses and eclectic layers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/creative-class-uniform). The looks were perfected by hairstylist Peter Johansson and makeup artist Pari Damani. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.3/10 - Popularity: 91% | Activity: 60% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Grunge Chic Fashion:** Opportunity for fashion brands to incorporate a grungy aesthetic with a sophisticated twist. - **Moody Editorial Photography:** Potential for photographers and magazines to create dark and atmospheric editorials. - **Styled Abandoned Locations:** Chance for fashion shoots to make use of abandoned spaces to create a haunting backdrop. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** Fashion brands can explore grunge-inspired designs and alternative styling techniques. - **Photography:** Photographers can experiment with moody lighting and locations to create captivating visual narratives. - **Editorial Publishing:** Magazines can embrace a darker aesthetic and feature unconventional fashion editorials. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Identity-Exploring Clothing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shapes-we-take.md) - [Model-Collaborative Luxe Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cara-loves-karl.md) - [Refined Vintage Militaristic Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-nicholson-fw25.md) - [Statement-Making Fall Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-fall-2025.md) - [Stylish Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stylish-fashion-campaigns-marc-jacobs-unveils-its-spring-2025-marcworld-cam.md) - [Feminine Rebellion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/songs-of-siren.md) - [Modern Minimalist Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-latest-summer-edit.md) - [Creative Urban Collaborative Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-days-march.md) - [Vintage-Inspired Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vintageinspired-jewelry.md)
