Several Alternative Films With Alternative Characters


Lace High-Low Gothic Skirt for Women


Film is becoming a necessary thing in our daily life nowadays and they make our life not dull but colourful. Alternative is also a hot word today and most of the people will be interested in watching some alternatuve films and follow some dressing of the alternative characters in these films. If you are a fan of the alternatuive fashion and i think you will be interested in my this topic. I will simply introduce three alternative films and its characters as the following:









Pretty In Pink: I love this film a lot more than I like Sixteen Candles - a film set in the same time period with a lot of the same attributes. It stars one of the 'rejected kids', a girl by the name of Andie that dresses in self-made and second-hand clothes consisting mostly of Pink. I adore the fashion in this film which inspires me so much. It may not be black but it's still wonderful. If Pink isn't your thing you might like the styles of some of the co-starring characters - a male, Duckie, that dresses in an amazing street style and a Punky older friend. The film itself is a typical teen-romance and is almost always cited in awesome romances from the eighties. It's no wonder it's still so popular.







This Must Be The Place: I adore this film. Even though the ending is a terrible re-hash of most films with staring alternative people the main character moving on with his life, magically becoming a happy person and thus throwing away his alternative clothing. Am I the only one that this annoys the hell out of? The main character is obviously a take on The Cure's lead singer, Robert Smith. But that isn't the only Goth in this film with his younger friend, a young Goth girl and fan of his bands music. The story however is a bit more of an acquired taste but with the broad theme of self-acceptance I think the plot of searching to kill a Nazi from Auschwitz is a lot more available to audiences.







SLC Punk: Let's face it. I go through phases in which I study different subcultures obsessively. Goths, Skinheads but Punk is one that has really stuck. SLC Punk was a film that I watched when first entranced in the Punk web. And it was everything a good film should be. Absolutely heart-breaking again and again but with a foreseeable conclusion that still has an impact. The film is filled with a documentary-like narration which I love that explains the main characters life-style and about the 'scene' - which you shouldn't take as fact. The ending takes the 'phase' trend of alternative characters into a different light that didn't seem as silly to me - but you'll have to watch it to find out.

What is Alternative Fashion?




The phrase “alternative fashion” is often associated with styles that differ from mainstream trends. The phrase itself depicts fashion choices that are not only unique but constantly altered. Alternative fashion is typically linked to teenagers and young adults, although people of any age may participate in this style of dress. In fact, most any type of style can be considered alternative fashion to other people. I will simply introduce some information about this clothing fashion and you can have a reference if you are interested in this alternative clothing fashion.


Emo fashion has its roots in a style of rock music. Lyrically emotional and melodically catchy, the songs have been capturing a certain kind of audience since roughly the mid-1980s. While the emo movement enjoyed moderate underground popularity until the 21st century, it has since become more mainstream. Fashion critics often contend that since more and more clothing designers have manufactured styles directed toward this crowd, it's not as “alternative” as it once was.





Emo kids-as they are often called — are generally depicted as wearing tight jeans or pants, band t-shirts, neon colors contrasted with shades of black, and shoes manufactured by skateboard brands. Studded belts, thick-rimmed glasses and shaggy haircuts are also associated with emo fashion.


Goth or gothic fashion is another style of alternative fashion. Considered a type of subculture, people who have “gone goth” are often seen wearing all black, with occasional splashes of white or gray. Black hair is also common, worn in wild or long, straight manners. Heavy black makeup — including black lips — are also associated with this type of alternative fashion.






Considered androgynous in many ways, goth clothing is worn by both men and women. Like other forms of alternative fashion, there is no age or geographic restrictions associated with the goth subculture. Both men and women in this scene may wear tulle or velvet skirts, black boots and fishnet accessories. Gothic people are also generally pale, as Goths are stereotyped as disliking the sun. Macabre, erotic and morbid accessories are also parts of this fashion trend.

In the Rock industry, everyong wears something. Earrings, necklaces, bracelets - you name it, they're all there. A common characteristic of rock accessories is aggressiveness. Necklaces are usually heavy and have thematic pendants, such as skulls or crosses, bracelets are leather-based and earrings come in all shapes and sizes - but nevertheless, they have to be stylish.
