Since its origins in the 1970s, punk has had an incendiary influence on fashion. As a style, punk was about chaos, anarchy, and rebellion. This title examines the impact of punk's aesthetic of brutality on high fashion, focusing especially on its do-it-yourself, rip-it-to-shreds ethos, the antithesis of couture's made-to-measure exactitude.
