Trend of the week: Grunge

Inspiration

Fashion’s casual love affair has taken an edgier viewpoint with grunge-inspired looks high on the trend radar.

While Belgian master Dries Van Noten applied tailoring to louche plaid separates, logocentricity featured highly at 3.1 Philip Lim and Acne with dip-dye fabrics and bejewelled beanies creating cacophony at House of Holland.

Style Notes

* Give grunge the girlie edge by pairing plaid with floral separates as seen at Dries Van Noten.

* Become a style preacher with a mission statement logo tee.

* Not a beanie gal? Fashion a neck scarf into a hair turban as seen at Marc by Marc Jacobs.

* Layering is key to mastering the trends. A waist-tied shirt makes a de facto belt while sheer fabrics make grunge a more glam affair.
