Fashion Trend : Rockabilly, Pinup and Psychobilly

Hello Dolls ~

Today post will be about three different styles but basted on the same concept and the concept is the 1940s through the 1950s fashion of that time. Between these 10 years,World War ll broke out and fashion died at this point because they needed the fabrics and materials to win the war.

These three styles are inspired by musicians, actresses, horror movies, models and pin up models at the time including Bettie Page, Marilyn Monroe, Elvis, Marlon Brando, Steve McQueen, James Dean, Bettie Davis, Grace Kelly, Vampria (Malia Nurmi).

The first style is Rockabilly, this style has been around since the mid 50s, since the style of music called rockabilly arose with musicians such as Elvis. 

Woman's Rockabilly style consists of A-line dresses and skirts, Tight fitted pencil skirts, capri pants, cute cut tops. Hairstyles like Victory Rolls, Doll bangs, etc. Red lipstick only, black eyeliner with wing tips, cat eye sunglasses.

Men's Rockabilly style is of rolled up blue jeans at the bottom, slicked back hair, motorcycle boots, white tanks and or t-shirts.

Second style is Psychobilly, still has the same concept as Rockabilly but they are into old monster movies, zombies, dead pinup tattoos. Influenced by The Misfits, The Cramps, Horrorpops, Bettie Page and Vampria.

Third and final look is Pinup (Burlesque), again still the same concept as Rockabilly and Psychobilly. Mostly girls are into this style, this is there lifestyle and their job. Inspired by the Pinup Queens of the past, this style of fashion and dance has nothing to do with being a Exotic dancer or any of that kind of nonsense, Its stripping but classier. 

Most popular Pinup/Burlesque girls are Miss Mosh and Dita Von Teese.
