subject: Turn Heads With Controversial Fashion [print this page] Over the years many designers have aimed to shock the general public with controversial designs. Typically the more controversial the garment is, the more it will sell therefore it is no surprise that designers are still trying to push the boundaries of acceptable fashion. Whether you love it or hate, there is denying that controversial fashion choices spark debate. A successful designer will combine elements of pop culture, tongue in cheek humour and quality craftsmanship in order to catch the eye of the fashion elite. Unfortunately many designers fall short of this criteria and end up creating something which is downright offensive. Fashion is supposed to get people talking and over the last couple of decades there have been some stand out pieces that really caused a stir, for all of the right reasons.
We all know the print; many of us will have even bought it at a young age and tried to hide it from parents or teachers, wearing it only when surrounded by peers. Vivienne Westwood really did cause a controversy with her cowboy t-shirt print which is still in demand over twenty years later. If there was ever a t-shirt that turned heads it was this one and along with the signature orb detail and that stunning wedding dress, it will be what the British designer will forever be remembered for.
Take a look in any high street store and you will not doubt be confronted by shoes that look more like weapons. The current trend for spikes and studs is reminiscent of Alexander McQueen's signature designs that really made an impact when they strutted down the catwalk. With more and more affordable versions of these shoes hitting the high street it is a great time to turn heads and give your outfit some edge.
Great moments in fashion are defined by controversy, for example Kate Middleton modelling the sheer dress at university is now one of the moments that she is most remembered for. More and more fantastic up and coming brands are currently making their own waves in the fashion world, combining modern pop culture references with on-trend fashion. Brands such as The Cuckoos Nest are the perfect choice for those looking for garments that really do make a statement.
Choose fashion that turns heads for all of the right reasons. Aim for clever messages and ironic prints instead of offensive insults to ensure that you are leading the pack this season.
