Crimes against Fashion

Number 100 - Never slavishly follow trends.
Number 101 - If you feel you must follow a trend, choose your style carefully!!!

Heroin chic is not my favourite trend - for one, I don't see the appeal of looking like a druggie. Euw. But if you feel that's all you can pull off, Kate Moss
will do as someone who may be addicted to drugs but outwardly seems fine. Amy Winehouse is another story altogether.

L - Amy's beehive in all its glory (source)
R - Sometimes she keeps it up by tying a cloth around it (source)

I don't know what's horrified me more - the fact that this girl has chosen to emulate someone who's so obviously self-destructing (although I suppose beehives have a late 50s-early 60s kind of cool to them) or that her hair was actually in such a condition to recreate that scraggy-held-up-with-a-cloth look.

I don't know why anyone would do that to themselves. It is just not an attractive look at all.

Hmm - never been a supporter of the heroin chic look.

However, if the offender chose to adopt this look, did she really need to combine it with clashes of strong colours too? (ie. what looks like blue, red and yellow)
But maybe she was on her way to a costume party?
