The fashion industry is ridiculously competitive. It is not enough to make an effort with your outfits—you have to wear the most unique, attention-grabbing garments to catch people’s attention. In recent years this often has taken the form of edgy clothing, or, in other words: bad girl fashion. To showcase some of the edgy trendsetters of the past and present day, here are the top five bad girls of fashion.
1. Kate Moss: The original bad girl of fashion. She led the “Heroin Chic” trend of the 1990’s with her party girl, waif-like appearance.
2. Taylor Momsen: Remember Jenny Humphrey from Gossip Girl? Well, Little J traded her preppy, good-girl style a few years ago for her lingerie, pantsless current ensemble when she created the band, The Pretty Reckless.
3. Rihanna: From drug adorned crop tops and trucker hats to her famous angular haircut, she has led the latest edgy fashion craze with her bold looks.
4. Cara Delevingne: Aside from being one of the top models in the world, Cara succeeds at honing a certain nonchalant, casual style. She frequently sports grungy menswear inspired pieces, and of course, many beanies.
5. Miley Cyrus: This former Hannah Montana star has completely revolutionized her style. She wears giant teddy bear backpacks, cutout bodysuits, graphic print crop tops, and let’s not forget the infamous tongue.
