Your Favourite/Most Iconic Band Looks

Recommended Posts

yeah visual kei has some decent music here and there ok cool BUT lets talk about the looks that probably tickled your fancy and got you into the genre/subculture in the first place. if there's a thread similar to this, im sorry in advance^^. use this for now to discuss your all time favourite visual looks! post the looks that probably made u gasp in your head, cry tears of joy, inspire yaoi fanfiction, make you run to your hair stylist circa 2007 or just took your breath away.

 

malice mizer - merveiles + funeral goth era

d'espairsray - 2004-2005

there's a lot to be said for how amazing old d'espairsray are, but their visuals were as brilliant and dark as the music. hizumi's outfit from the murder's day DVD looks like its straight out of a julius or rick owens show from 2010 and the s&m themed costumes looked beautful. even up to coll:set their gothic look stayed intact, the album artwork is breath taking.

Awoi. One of my favourite darker bands. Perfect looks all round.

Also agree with D'espairsRay. They were one of the first VK bands I heard of. But I prefer ther pre Coll:Set looks more. Which are obviously not everyone's cup of tea.

Then La'Mule. Their blood splattered white clothes were pretty iconic (and cool)

Good old Madeth gray'll had amazing looks

and early VIDOLL. Their looks kicked ass and were so wonderfully grotesque

DeG's MACABRE & Kisou era looks are everything to me.

I just love those leather, pvc, bodage and punk inspired looks they did that time.

Yes! The band looks amazing here. The entire picture is awesome. It kinds gives me many of the same vibes as bands such as Coven, Pentagram, Black Sabbath, Paul Chain and Black Hole did in the 60's, 70's and 80's. It's just got this cool, occult vibe to it.

I just gotta add these which I think is magnificent, even though it's not something most people would consider iconic.

Recently I really dig cali≠gari's (and Shuuji's Goatbed) visuals. They really stands out from other VK bands for me. I love cali≠gari's weirdness because it's so much fun to look at. And I think it fits their music perfectly. I do like most of the looks they have put up so far (except the very early ones), so this is only one of my favorites.

On a side note I wish I could meet Shuuji and maybe ask him for some styling tips. He's got such an awesome fashion sense lol

Speaking of Nazi regalia. Kisaki and Syndrome did that too. well, many bands did it back then, so i guess that's an “iconic” and typical look (for 90s vk at least)

I am personally more a fan of blood spattered doctors and mad scientists. See Malice Mizer's Illuminati look (but all of their eras had great costumes). Or LuLu.
