Examples

“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.”
