    We’re all inspired by many things, but in artistic culture you notice their is a special sweet spot for criminals and murderers. You will always find songs and artists like Morrissey basically glamorizing and almost longing for these criminals. In this case it’s influence has trickled to fashion. The makeup and hair for Prada’s S/S 2013 isn’t inspired by strong fashion icons or trends, but a serial killer Aileen Wournos. “The inspiration for the hair and makeup at Prada S/S 2013 has a very interesting inspiration, none other than infamous serial killer, Aileen Wuornos. “Her story especially her hair and natural raw disheveled look has been very inspirational to me…
