Back in the 80's Punk Rock street fashions were viewed as an expression of personal style and freedom by some, and a desperate cry for attention by others. With their combination of mixed colors, prints, ripped shirts, torn jeans, colorful hair and never ending body adornment, the look was more 'anything goes' than 'haute couture'. It was associated with the rebels of society, social misfits and main stream outcasts. Those who thought ou
tside the box of the matrix found a connection and comradory with the mindset of those who embraced this creative and expressive lifestyle, even if they themselves didn't don the attention getting attire.
Today, with the need for a more frugal and practical spending of income combined with a more open and acceptable society, these once mocked punk looks are not only being recognized for their creative ingenuity and constructive application, but for their fashionable look as well. One look at some of the top designer runways in Milan, Paris, Japan and New York, and you will see how what once was embraced only on the underground scene, has made an impression on the rich and famous as well.
