DIYtrends Pretty In Punk….
Toughening Up never looked so Pink!
Punk rock has always been known as being hard, loud and dark. Emerging in the 70’s with bands such as the Ramones, the Heartbreakers and Blondie, the music was extravagant and outrageous, as was the fashion. The scene was much of a DIY movement, with young kids creating their own styles as well as creating a new movement in music history. The punk scene began very trashed-out with extreme hair, accessories that could duplicate for weapons, and clothes often mistaken for rags. The late 70’s incorporated what was called American Hardcore with bands such as The Misfits, Black Flag and the Sex Pistols. The fashion at these times were shocking and rebellious, many of them based on designs from Vivianne Westwood, and modeled from icons such as The Ramones and Johnny Rotten. Main styles included band t-shirts intentionally torn, leather jackets, blazers, motorcycle boots, tapered jeans and dress shirts with symbols of anarchy and crucifixes.
The 80’s continued the Punk tradition, however becoming for mainstream and hardcore. New bands emerged as well as new fashions. Dr. Martens became a staple as well as combat boots. Jeans remained tapered, however were now adorned with chains, studs and bleach. Tartan and plaid, as well as t-shirts became the new uniform for Punk. Another evolving trend was body piercing and tattoos, as well as extreme accessories such as spikes, chokers, all adopting in a sexual style.
