Fall fashions: Not so Goth or Girl With Dragon Tatttoo

I utterly disagree with the tone and assertions made by fashion critic Booth Moore. As far as I know, Bettie Page is revered as a complete bad ass who was ahead of her time and in fact inspired punk movements and styles worn later by Madonn

a.You have to also be a kind of bad ass to wear corset, girdles and sheathes, and heels over three inches all day and curl your hair and work in an advertisement agency. The styles here supposedly inspired by Girl with the Dragon Tattoo mentioned in the article toy with the look of militaristic urban grunge. If anything this wearing pedal pushers/ankle pants with cut out heels and then a World War 2 styled get up and burlesque eyebrows does not say tough, but David Bowie to me, with the slicked back hair. Gender bending, okay. If they wanted to say these styles are inspired by Lisbeth Salander, or Katniss of the Hunger Games, they are missing the mark by a long shot, except for the dystopic urban future vibe. I need to see more evidence.
