Since its origins in the 1970s, punk has had an explosive influence on fashion. With
its eclectic mixing of stylistic references, punk effectively introduced the postmodern
concept of bricolage to the elevated precincts of haute couture and directional ready-to-wear.
As a style, punk is about chaos, anarchy, and rebellion. Drawing on provocative sexual
and political imagery, punks made fashion overtly hostile and threatening. This aesthetic
of violence - even of cruelty - was intrinsic to the clothes themselves, which were
often customized with rips, tears, and slashes, as well as studs, spikes, zippers,
D-Rings, safety pins, and razor blades, among other things. This extraordinary publication
examines the impact of punk's aesthetic of brutality on high fashion, focusing on
its do-it-yourself, rip-it-to-shreds ethos, the antithesis of couture's made-to-measure
exactitude. Indeed, punk's democracy stands in opposition to fashion's autocracy.
Yet, as this book reveals, even haute couture has readily appropriated the visual
and symbolic language of punk, replacing beads with studs, paillettes with safety
pins, and feathers with razor blades in an attempt to capture the style's rebellious
energy. Focusing on high fashion's embrace of punk's aesthetic vocabulary, this book
reveals how designers have looked to the quintessential anti-establishment style to
originate new ideals of beauty and fashionability
