THE TREND THAT WON'T GO AWAY

This post was originally aimed at the similarities of Adam Lamberts style and an editorial by Xexmag.com. The thorough use of studs, chains and jewels make this an interesting change for the usual editorials that we have been seeing lately. Upon further inspection I was seeing this 'Glam' trend appearing all over the internet. But note this is not the glam you thought it once was. The all-new glam trend is a dirtier, rough version used by Lambert, Britney Spears, Lady GaGa and Ke$ha to name a few. 

From 2009 fashion houses like Prada and Burberry were releasing their studded garments amidst a large demand for this trend. Like most of these flash-trends I expected it to be gone by the time it hit the stores. Alas here we are in 2011 and the studded/glitzy/sequency/jewel-encrusted trend is going nowhere. 
What do you think about this style?
