so you like to look dangerous, to be edgy, to feel msireable and look like you traveld the world but overall you like the color (which isn't really a color) black. then my dear friend this GET THE LOOK post is going to be just what you've been looking for.
blackrebel motorcycle club, the kill, the black keys or the horrors are just a few bands whose music you could call garage punk music. and the key to a really nice garage punk look is pretty much dressing up like those bands. in this GET THE LOOK post the music is our fashion muse and lets be honest fashion and music are like a really annoying couple of lovebirds means you won't get one without the other.
moodboard - garage punk
this moodboard comes along a bit bloody, rough, dark and violent but that's exactly how this whole style works. i think if you're not really listening to the list of bands i mentioned above you may will face some problems achieving this style but don't go away maybe you found some inspiration anyway (think positive you know). i mean almost every style i presented in my get the look posts isn't easy to create if you have a lack of passion for the style itself. maybe that's why you always should dress like you want to and not to impress some people you may consider being "cool kids". it sounds cheesy but fucking be yourself. however i'm pretty sure the people on the pictures below (helping me to show you guys how the real garage punk can look like) are truly dress like they want to and maybe that's what makes them special.
ALICE DELLAL is someone who has the ability to make this style work. she is one of my all time favourit style icons (next to CHLOE SEVIGNEY, AGYNESS DEYN and a wonderful fahsion blogger called nadia baiyley).
i'm a music freak, i listen to as much music as i can and maybe that's why i have the feel this looks comes natrual to me. i think about a song and within a few seconds my doll is dressed. i love using black or grey, spikes, leather, hats and biker boots for my medolls looks and those are center pieces for a original and good garage punk look. don't get me wrong i also love do dress my medoll in other styles aswell but i need more time for those looks and i have to think a bit harder to create them.
and even though SD offers the FALLEN ANGEL store for all the users having a "heavier" taste in fashion, the kind of clothes you need to create a solid garage punk look are not so easy to find. i think garage punk fashion is a mixutre of the following fashion styles: grunge, goth and punk. garage punk fashion takes the parts of those styles which are a bit more calm and not so extreme putting them together in a complete new way. which is is exactly the problem when it comes to finding the right clothes at the plaza. SD overacts most of the time so you have to pick the items who seem to be wearable but edgy and wearable but edgy is almost non exisitent at the plaza. but thanks to the latest BONJOUR BIZU collection you we don't necesarrily have to go to the bazaar at least not to buy some basic edgy material.
above you can see some clothes which would fit perfectly into a garage punk look. you may notice that most of those clothes are black i think if you like to use colors this look isn't really something for you. black should be the center of attention. of course you can use some color but i would strongly recommend to use darker colors like forest green, or a very dark blood red. if you want to spice things up feel free to combine the basic black attire with some patterns or prints (like those you can see above) but you should always try to be modest means if you use paterns they should be simple and the same goes for prints.
ok now that we have seen some real life garage punk looks, talked about all the must haves and the essentials of the style. i think it's time to see how a complete look can look on your doll. for me this look has different outcomes, even though you mostly concentrate on being onconetial you can always choose which way your look should have.
