The punk style in clothes is one of the most shocking. It is attractive with careless and vivid images and at the same time repels many with its specificity and the need to fully comply with this subculture. However, fashion designers find common ground with the trends of modern fashion, creating intricate and very strange catwalk images.
For girls, punk style is one of the opportunities to express oneself and express to the whole world about one’s own peculiarity, a special view of the world and a feeling of oneself in the realities of our time.
History of occurrence
Punk is considered to be a continuation of such a popular movement in the 60s of the last century as hippies. Flower people loved the world, lived and loved freely, without any restrictions for themselves, by all means protested against war and violence. Later there was a transformation of moods in society and a protest arose in relation to everything - to oneself, to society, to its rules, to the whole world as a whole. In the 70s, the punk movement flourished, the development of which was also facilitated by music.
Translated from English, the word punk has several meanings: bad, trashy, scum. The pioneer in this direction was the American group Ramones, which was the first to behave obscenely on stage, loudly performing their songs. The public accepted this craziness.
The punk style was first embroidered by designer Vivienne Westwood, who created clothing for her husband's group, Malcolm McLaren, producer of Sex Pistols. Vivienne was not a seamstress, but tried to sew as it turned out. As a result, completely unusual things for that time appeared - torn pants, strange T-shirts with ties, instead of traditional strapless. Scandalous inscriptions flaunted on T-shirts.
In a short period, Vivienne Westwood has become a center of attraction for punks. Here you can find jackets sewn from different pieces of fabric and chipped together with pins, trousers with stains after soaking in bleach ... Rivets, badges, ropes, spikes were used as jewelry. And, of course, representatives of the punk environment could immediately be recognized by their hairstyle - Iroquois.
In the mid-70s of the last century, thanks to the efforts of designers, punk style from the streets stepped onto the catwalks. Since that period, punk fashion has undergone several transformations that spilled over into different post-punk styles. And already modern fashion houses continue to find inspiration to create their new collections and develop a shocking style.
