Coming to whys and wherefores… why do you want to dress like a rocker-gal? Is It because you love and worship rock music and see yourself on stage head-banging and singing while the crowd grooves away? Or because rock symbolizes power and thus rock star dressing would help you exude a power and strength that is edgy and alluring at the same time?
Whatever be your reason (except for the lame ones like “Oh! Because it’s an in-thing nowadays) you need to first decide what genre style you want to adopt. Do you want that Goth-chic look, or do you want to look like that tanz-metal queen? Easiest way to do this is to Google out famous female rock stars (or metal maidens as they are called) and then decide who you want to follow …or better, look thoroughly, identify a pattern and then experiment till you come up with your unique rockstar look.
Often noticed patters are highly-done eyes (kohl, eyeliner, eye shadow ...All dark), lots of chains, quirky jewellery… or band merchandise. Clothes are selected carefully to blend with the theme of the songs.
If you ask Delhi gal, she prefers the powerful look of gothic-symphonic metal stars like Sharon Del Adel and Christina Scabbia. They are powerhouse performers and same reflects in their dressing. Sharon has studied designing and it’s rumoured that she designs her dresses herself.
Christina Scabbia wears unusual, look-at-me jewellery and clothes that screech out POWER. Take a look and decide for yourself.
