Modern fashion is surprising, and sometimes shocking. New styles appear almost seasonally, and today everyone can reflect their own tastes and hobbies by choosing the right clothes. And yet, some areas remain incomprehensible to many. Do you know who thrash models are?
Thrash is not fashion, but its complete denial
It’s not entirely true to call thrash a fashion style. This movement originated recently in the United States as the antipode of fashion in principle. The word "Trash" is literally translated into Russian as "garbage" or "garbage." The founders of this informal subculture were unhappy with the homogeneity of mass culture and fashion. In modern society, thousands of people watch the same broadcasts, read the same magazines, and, following all the advice received from the popular media, become exactly the same. Trash models, on the contrary, strive to stand out from the general “gray mass” as brightly as possible. To express and emphasize their own personality, fans of this direction chose one of the most affordable ways. It is about creating a vivid image and constant work on your appearance.
Is there an ideology?
Any subculture has its own ideology and is created to unite people with similar tastes and worldviews. Just do not thrash. Lovers of standing out from the crowd do not seek to prove anything to society. For fans of this direction, the most interesting is the care about their own appearance and its modernization. Sometimes thrash models treat their own body as a work of art. As for tastes, every lover of this trend has his own preferences. Representatives of thrash subculture listen to a variety of music, read a variety of books and watch films of various genres. There are no strict restrictions on the appearance. The more interesting and unusual the bow, the greater the thrash. It is worth noting that if initially anti-glamor fans really dressed, if not in the garbage dump, then in thrift stores, then today trash lovers go shopping in fashion stores.
Appearance
What do real thrash models look like? You can see photos of fans of this direction in our article. Clothing is usually chosen in bright colors, but some girls prefer total black. Many thrash divas like leopard-colored outfits and other “predatory” prints. Another popular motive is the image of cartoon characters. Attention is paid to details and accessories: spikes, rivets, large “gold” or plastic jewelry. Often, fans of thrash wear children's jewelry - plastic rings, tiaras and crowns. Boundless imagination and protest are clearly expressed in hairstyles. Dreadlocks, afro-braids and incredible fleece - the confrontation with the official fashion looks like this. The highest chic are hair dyed in unnatural colors. Also, many trash girls wear false locks or wigs. The most daring fans of the direction make multicolor large tattoos and piercings. It is impossible to imagine such a vivid image without the appropriate makeup. The most common: dark eyeliner, colored shadows, bright shades of lipsticks. It is worth noting that most often in vivid images you can see people of lean physique. It may be that thinness is not a mandatory requirement in the thrash subculture, but for some reason most of its followers seem to find this type of figure perfect.
Audrey Kitching - founder of thrash subculture
Trash, as a phenomenon, is often associated with the name of the American model Audrey Kitching. This girl is considered the founder of the subculture. Very little is known about the owner of bright pink hair. Audrey is a fan of grunge musical style, a lover of extravagant images. Today, thrash models from around the world dream of collaborating with Kitching. After all, the founder of the direction is not only removed herself, but also is a stylist and make-up artist. In addition, Audrey Kitching maintains a fashion blog and regularly delights fans with her new photo sessions.
Famous models
The most famous models of thrash direction are Zooey Suicide, Jacques Vanek, Hannah Beth. All these girls live in the USA and actively cooperate with each other. It is worth noting that for these persons, trash is not only a hobby, but also a profession in some way. In the West, thrash models are now quite in demand, they are invited to participate in fashion shows, commercial photo shoots, and act in commercials. It is appropriate to call these girls bloggers, because it is thanks to their activity on the Internet that they have become famous throughout the world.
Are there thrash models in Russia?
In our country, the thrash subculture is at the initial stage of development. Very often, fans of this trend are confused with other informals. According to ordinary people, thrash models are especially strongly similar to emo, which were popular several years ago. Indeed, there are visual similarities if we consider only appearance. But do not forget that trash does not imply any deep ideology. The official fashion and modeling business in Russia does not recognize fans. But despite this fact, every year more and more Russian girls and young guys are not shy about choosing bright and extravagant images for themselves. Moreover, many “unrecognized” Russian thrash models are shot in music videos, short films and participate in photo shoots. It is possible that very soon in our country will also appear professionals of the most unusual style, known throughout the world.
Subculture rules or their complete absence?
Thrash is a kind of anarchy in the fashion world. The only guideline for creating outfits and combining things is personal taste. This subculture attracts the most genuine revolutionaries, those who are not used to listening to other people's opinions. Perhaps for this reason it is difficult to find fans of trash over the age of 25. Most often, this style is especially liked by young people aged 15-20 years.
It is worth noting that not only girls can demonstrate their own personality with the help of clothes. Thrash models of men are less famous today than their counterparts, but they also exist.
How to become a thrash model?
Since thrash models are rare in our country, and the subculture is informal today, building a career in this area is not so simple. But anything is possible if desired. You should start by working on your own image. Blogs of fans of this direction can easily be found on the Web. But a bright personality is the main thing for a thrash model. Subculture promotes the creation and demonstration of one’s own imagination. No need to copy any of the successful models, stop being afraid of the opinions of others and decide to experiment. Be prepared for the fact that, despite the official "unfashionable", thrash outfits, accessories and specific cosmetics are not cheap. It will be useful to start your own blog, from time to time to participate in photo shoots. Many thrash models of Russia today are only becoming popular in thematic circles. And this means that if there is a desire to join their ranks, and perhaps even become famous, everyone can make a career in the world of show business!
