There is no denying that punk ripped its way into fashion infamy in the form of subverted symbolism, painful-looking jewellery and an over all dirty vibe.
The original punk fashion maven Vivienne Westwood sold her first pieces in Malcolm McLaren's boutique 'SEX' in the seventies. Yes the same Malcolm McLaren who managed the Sex Pistols.
So in honour of the Met Ball exhibition from Punk: Chaos to Couture, let's give some airplay to the originals.
Disclosure: I don't listen to punk music or know anything about punk (but that's what museums are for after all).
