Punk was a movement that began in America and Britain in the 70's, it was a way of youths rebelling against society and religion, expressing their beliefs/interests 'i am an anticrist' (as quoted by johnny potten) . They expressed this not only with fashion, but music also played a big part in this, being a loud, aggressive genre of rock music called punk rock!
Punk was known for its unique use of clothing, hairstyles, tattoos and jewellery. Oftern adapting everyday objects for aesthetic effect: ripping clothing and holding it together with studs and safety pins, using razor blades and bones as jewellery (as done by Vivienne westwood also), tight drainpipes, often use of tartan and leather, studs and spikes, Dr martins and Creepers, but most of all punks were known for their extravagant hair. Mohawks! spiking the hair up using sugar water to create a hair style not to be missed.
Punk is still around and has become a masssive influence on the fashion industry thanks to Vivienne Westwood, who herself was a punk. She designer clothes for the punks of london such as tops decorated in bones and safety bins, and her use of tartan, studs and recycling old british trends.
