“They have⟳ categorized his style as "Glunge," a mix⟳ between grunge and glamour.”

“Grunge is set⟳ for a revival, though with a twist⟳: glamorous grunge (or "glunge", inevitably). Think⟳ spiky ankle boots rather than DMs, black sweaters laddered to expose an expertly judged glimpse of décolletage instead of cardigans with frayed cuffs. Some blasts from the past don't lend⟳ themselves to revival. Glunge we can do; I don't think⟳ anyone's ready for the return⟳ of heroin chic.”

“Remember⟳ "glunge"? The hot fall⟳ trend that combines glamour with grunge for a twisted take⟳ on traditional chicness? Lily Allen took the look⟳ one step further yesterday in an outfit I'm calling "dressy messy." Check it out--and tell⟳ us what you think⟳ about it!--after the jump⟳.”

“Inspired by the glunge trend (glam-grunge!) this perfect party look⟳ is all about stand-out metallic smoky eyes and hair that's sleek at the sides and full-bodied from the front.”
