Sub Cultures- Rock-a-Billy.

Rock-a-billy emerged in the 1950's being one of the first styles to come from rock and roll music. However other music such as western swing, blues and, country music were a big influence on this subculture. Rock-a-billy for women is often associated with pin-up girls, as a rock-a-billy girl would often wear a-line skirts, tight fitted cardigans, stilettos,head bandanas, red lipstick and stockings. A male would normally be seen in, drainpipes turned up, braces, wife beaters, bowling shirts,creepers, quiffed hair.Many designers have used this as inspiration for collections, as well as celebrities such as katy perry who still dress in the same style.
