The Fashion of Punk Rock

Though the punk rock fashion in nowadays is common and could be seen everywhere, it was controversial when it made its debut in the early 1970s. The look was inspired by punk music bands such as The Ramones and The Sex Pistols. These kinds of bands rebelled against the authority. As we know the punk style was something relative to angry, dark and anti-establishment. The clothes worn by members of this movement signified rebellion against current social conditions.

Punk fashion went into stage in London in the early 1970s as part of the punk rock music movement. Although torn or frayed fabrics are common today, in the 1970s, they were a fashion that was quite shocking and had never before been seen. Punks, due to the depressed economic and sociopolitical conditions of the time, went to thrift shops to buy clothing and then cut them up and then used safety pins or chains to put them back together again to create their anti-establishment look. Teens of the early punk fashion movement were looking for an escape from the boredom and constraints of contemporary culture as unemployment, racial tensions and social upheaval inspired them to rebel. Their fashion choices stood as a symbol of their dissatisfaction with the current social conditions.
