Kinderwhore
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Kinderwhore was a clothing style used by a handful of mostly female grunge bands in the US during the early to mid 1990s.
The kinderwhore look consisted of torn, ripped tight or low-cut babydoll and peter pan collared dresses, slips, heavy makeup, barrettes, and leather boots or Mary–Jane shoes. [1] [2][3]
History
The origin of kinderwhore is uncertain. It is believed that Kat Bjelland of Babes in Toyland was the first to define it, while Courtney Love of Hole was the first to popularize it. Love has claimed that she took the style from Divinyls frontwoman Christina Amphlett.[1] The look became very popular in 1994.[4]
