Punk fashion is generally clothing, peircings, jewellery, hairstyles and body modifications of the punk subculture. Many punks wear these types of clothes and accessories to make a statment. Many commercialized fashion designers have used lots of elemnts from the punk fashion and applyed it into their work, this being people like vivienne westwood and Jean paul.
Punk fashion was origionally handmade but then later became more commercialized and started to sell in shops and record stores. This was mainly throughout the 1980’s.
A lot of the mainstream punk style was influnenced by Malcome McLarens’s shop “SEX”. Deliberatly offencive t-shirts were extremely popular in the early punk scene, such as the “DESTROY” t-shirt which was sold at “SEX”, which featured an inverted crucifix and a nazi swastika. Lots of punks also often ripped their clothes on purpose as a type of trend. Items which were regually associated with punks were: leather jackets, costomised balzers, patches, deleiberatly controversial images and dress shirts randomly covered in slogans such as “Only Anarchists are pretty”.
