“While the music came first, inevitably a style followed. The dichotomy of masculine and feminine, edgy and minimal, fashion and grunge.”

Lauren M. Brown, editor and founder of Fashion Grunge

To spread inspiration through Moda Muse, I must get inspired myself. These are the times I venture out into the blogosphere and happen upon gems like Fashion Grunge. This blog is the creation of photographer Lauren M. Brown and it combines two of her interests, music and fashion. So often, the two intersect. It was while living in New York City, Brown became enamored by a resurgence of the grunge aesthetic.

What I really enjoy about this blog is the exclusive pictorials within, like Grunge Bride by photographer Nalie @girlsofunderground. This exclusive story is told through a grainy polaroid camera and a cigarette stained lense. The bride pictured thoughout Berlin’s underground perfectly encapsulates that cross section of grunge music, culture, and fashion. The style throughout the exclusives at Fashion Grunge have an overtone of edgy, dirty and dark grunge subculture.

Within the Fashion Grunge site are beauty tips, music reviews, featured looks and more. There is also a link to buy Fashion Grunge’s print version or “zine” if you will. What better sums up 90’s underground culture than an actual zine? Fashion Grunge Zine is around $10 per issue and it features the work of photographers who contributed to the online platform. After exploring Fashion Grunge, I’m delighted to recommend this strangely beautiful site to my readers. Definitely give the blog a follow on IG as well, @fashiongrunge.
