Kinderwhore was an image used by a handful of American female punk rock bands in the early/mid 1990s.
The kinderwhore look consisted of torn, ripped tight or low-cut babydoll dresses or nighties, heavy makeup, and leather boots or Mary-Jane shoes of various colors. Exactly who invented the kinderwhore image is up for debate, although Courtney Love of Hole was the first to popularize it. Christina Amphlett of Divinyls can clearly be seen sporting the image on the cover of her band's 1983 album, Desperate.
Love declared that she took the style from Amphlett in an interview in the Los Angeles zine Ben Is Dead. Kinder means children in German and Yiddish and is pronounced with a short i as in kindergarten.
