In case you were not already aware to the gloriousness that is newly-signed Maybelline spokesmodel Charlotte Free, no worries. You might remember her from a slew of Forever 21 campaigns, however the pink-haired grunge enthusiast will soon be plastered on even more billboards and TV commercials, thus making her face even more impossible to miss.
Quite frankly, her mainstream career highlights are of little interest to anyone who cares about innovative fashion perspectives. The real fascination stems from her personal aesthetic, and overall love of aliens, the 90s, feminism, club kids, death metal and psychedelics. Most of these interests transcend into her daily fashion choices when she is not on the runway, revealing an eclectic personality that fASHLIN personally finds to be incredibly refreshing. When she isn't feeling like being overly "grunge", she takes her personal style towards a more psychedelic nu-goth direction. Think of 90s club kid chunky platforms, infused with alien t-shirts, black and white striped leggings and plaid flannels. She also is incredibly fond of oversized puffy jackets, obnoxious ski hats and anything remotely associated with the LA Lakers. She actively keeps a busy Tumblr page that reflects these qualities under the surname Princess Zelda, in which she posts a plethora of nature infused pictures mixed with anti-anorexia statements and responses to questions fans have asked her. It seems as though Charlotte has become a personal fan favorite of not only Tumblr grunge and nu-goth tags, but people in the industry alike. As far as designers go, Free is obsessed with Jeremy Scott and Christopher Kane, which comes as no surprise considering the pair both utilize rather unconventional design aesthetics. Jeremy Scott in particular first used her to open his S/S 2011 runway show (even though she is only 5' 7), and has since made her the main focus in every project he has done to date, most recently for his Fall 2012 lookbook. Check out Charlotte's top three fashion finds that she is most obsessed with right now, as well as where you can get them for yourself below:
  1. Stomp Platforms, $89 from Demonia
  2. Giant Alien Earring Pair, $29 from Marina Fini
  3. Galaxy Green Leggings, $78 from Black Milk Clothing

uhmmmm she did it as a feminist statement because she thinks it is ridiculous that society dictates girls have to shave their legs and armpits.... that is pretty much the opposite of disgusting.

You are beyond ignorant. It was for shock value, that's why. It was a "shocking" statement that already causes a feeling of revulsion (if you view the world through society's standards), and then amplifying that same revulsion by including a rather crude, disgusting act. It furthers the message, that's why. If you're not uncomfortable, nothing is going to change. I hope more people get weirded out by her and start to question themselves and what societal conditioning has enslaved them to.

Yeah dude chill the fuck out, she's a baller model and stands up for larger issues through her own artistic medium, modeling. Why else do you think a 5'7 model would be so popular on runways? Because she is a non-conformist amongst a very tightly wound industry that loves to impede their beliefs onto others. She gets hired by designers who don't like the mainstream societal opinion, and consequently she just got signed to fucking Maybelline because they were smart enough to try and market off of her alt appeal in that regard. The lesson here is be the swan, and the ducks will follow suit like little lemmings. Enjoy being incredibly dull and mundane.

yea so im entitled to think that she's gross for being gross, period. not everything has to be such a sociopolitical statement, and isn't art open to interpretation anyways? my interpretation is she's not a good look with hairy pits. done.

LOL. Uhmm, have you ever asked yourself dino54ur *WHY* you feel that seeing hair on a woman is gross? Why do you feel grossed out by it? Are you grossed out by seeing armpit hair on a man? If not, or at the very least if not completely offended by it because it's "natural", then you have been 100% completely disillusioned by societal conditioning and brainwashing, and really have NO true organic opinion about anything. I'm not saying don't shave. What I'm saying is shave if you want to, but think about why it is that you do it. Do you do it for you? Or because your boyfriend/mum/friends expect you to do it... I really hope that you shed your insecurities in this lifetime.

Those acrylic alien earrings are AH-MAZE-ING, and not terribly priced considering I haven't seen giant alien laser cuts anywhere.

Demonia shoes are the sickest club kid shoes ever, she gets mad props just for mentioning them. These are probably the most plain but I really love all of their shoes in general. W2G CF!!
