# Grungy Androgynous Stylings Dazed & Confused's 'She Was a Skater Girl' Editorial is Dishevelled By Jordy E | Published 2012-07-26 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/she-was-a-skater-girl References: [mode.newslicious.net](http://mode.newslicious.net/2012/07/she-was-skater-girl-lara-mullen-by.html) & [dazeddigital](http://www.dazeddigital.com/) Dazed & Confused magazine's August 2012 'She Was A Skater Girl' editorial has taken British model Lara Mullen's crop tresses by storm. Red, purple and blue highlights intermingle here in a disheveled manner, forcing the otherwise coiffed beauty to take on a excessively grungy look. Mullen's appearances in [Valentino and Dior runways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandro-micheles) have been met with praise. Stylist Sharif Hamza has added yet another unforeseen dimension to her portfolio via loose baggy sweats, technicolor ensembles and leather vests. The street-ready apparel aligns with the crux of She Was A Skater Girl, one that is brought to light with a quick look at the title. The inclusion of a [wooden deck](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zero-skateboards) provided the final touch, and though Mullen may not use boards such as this one on a regular basis, she has certainly made viewers believe otherwise. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.9/10 - Popularity: 85% | Activity: 84% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Media](https://www.trendhunter.com/media) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Androgynous Stylings:** Opportunity for fashion brands to create gender-neutral clothing lines that challenge traditional norms. - **Disheveled Look:** Potential for beauty companies to capitalize on the trend of intentionally messy and undone hairstyles. - **Street-ready Apparel:** Artists and designers can explore collaborations with skateboarding brands to create urban-inspired fashion collections. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion:** Fashion brands can incorporate androgynous elements into their designs to cater to a diverse consumer base. - **Beauty:** Beauty companies can develop products and styling techniques that help achieve the disheveled look. - **Skateboarding:** Skateboarding brands can expand their reach by partnering with fashion designers and artists to create unique streetwear collections. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Streetwear Skate Remixes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-future.md) - [90s Grunge-Inspired Fall Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-october-collection.md) - [Avant-Garde Street Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/day-3-capsule-2.md) - [Punk Rock-Informed Fall Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superculture-collection.md) - [Roller Heritage Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flippers-fashion-collection.md) - [Juxtaposing Retro Skate Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mixxa.md) - [Cinematic Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandro-micheles.md) - [Refreshed Expressive Fashion Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheap-monday-relaunch.md) - [90s-Inspired Retro Trainers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lily-mcmenamy-1.md)
