Industrial fashion - Definition and Overview

Industrial fashion is a form of fashion most closely associated with the industrial music scene.

It is based on military combat uniforms, combat boots, and some aspects of punk and BDSM fashions; the color black predominates across all of these elements. Partially or completely buzzed or shaved hair is common.

Industrialites are sometimes called "rivetheads" by goths and others; this can be derogatory, neutral, or affectionate depending on the context and the person being referred to. Though close to the goth subculture, industrial fashion and music are much less well-known. This can be attributed to the relative obscurity of industrial music, as compared to mainstream rock or even gothic rock.

Cyber fashion is partially based upon industrial fashion.
