he was a spokesperson for Generation X
and the grunge movement and as a result
he was an accidental fashion icon
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’ll
be learning more about the style and
fashion of Kurt Cobain I take her Cobain
was a fashion icon because his his
personal style influenced millions and
everyone started dressing like him
trying to emulate his his look because
it was they could really identify with
with him and what he was wearing because
it was really down-to-earth and basic
and normal and he just put it together
in a really raggedy way that a lot of
teenagers could identify with
not only was grunge a musical style it
became a fashion philosophy as well the
grunge attitude meant not compromising
who you were for anyone and above all
being yourself this was a message Cobain
exemplified and his rebellion turned him
into a stall star it was obvious that
Cobain did not spend a great deal of
energy focusing on his style his hair
was permanently messy bleached at home
and was sometimes colored with kool-aid
while Cobain did become a fashion icon
to many this was the last thing on his
mind when he shopped for clothes
we went to a lot of fifth stores and
liked the idea of not really knowing
what you’re going to find that element
of surprise really influenced by what
people wore in the city he he’s from
just regular work clothes people were
loggers and and fishermen so they wore
thermal shirts and flannel shirts
because it actually was cold and it was
practical for for their work there’s a
lot of logs and trees a lot of trees and
all torrontés came before logs right a
lot of trees getting cut down there’s a
lot of people whose lives revolved
around trees getting cut down mom and
dad would do what you did drop me off
the Grandpa Jones his torn jeans bearded
up jeans that were quite quite popular
among extent that generation and
cardigans wool sweaters using oversized
with holes that’s that kind of thing the
flannel shirts for sure everybody wore
flannel shirts even if it wasn’t cold
you just threw one on or tied it around
your waist you were a lot of a chunky
stripe sweaters that we could actually
see exact replicas of in stores
for shoes at converse all-stars Chuck
Taylors Cobain’s color palette mostly
revolved around darker tones army greens
and grays he wore his most iconic looks
and concerts interviews and of course
music videos
so for example in the smells like teen
spirit video he’s wearing striped
t-shirt over thermal shirt and some say
it’s because he was self-conscious about
his skinny body and then other people
say it’s just actually it was really
cold in Seattle so that’s where people
wore so many layers
it wasn’t long before Cobain started
incorporating more shocking and
unexpected elements into his wardrobe he
sometimes wore women’s clothing or
underwear in concerts and was known to
throw on a colorful scarf occasionally
despite his reticence to follow fashion
and perhaps because of his desire to
shock Cobain’s look proved to be as
enduring and timeless as his music
