heroin chic
Emaciated fashion aesthetic
Heroin chic was a fashion aesthetic of the 1990s characterized by pale skin, dark under-eye circles, angular bone structure, and an emaciated frame—the look of someone strung out on opiates.
The style appeared in high fashion photography and was associated with models like Kate Moss.
Critics blamed it for glamorizing drug use and unhealthy thinness.
