Our second of the key trends for Autumn Winter is Punk. Seen at shows like Junya Watanabe, Holly Fulton and Givenchy. Versace also created their own take on the style and rebranded it is 'Vunk'.
Punk originated in the 1970s with separate beginnings in the United States and Britain. In New York punk originated from the music scene with bands such as Blondie, The Talking Heads and The Ramones. Whilst in the UK Punk emerged from political roots with unrest created due to hard economic times and record youth unemployment.
CBGB was a hub for punk in New York, US during the 70s.
The punk fashion style was mcuch influenced by the UK punk movement in particular by Malcolm McLaren and Vivienne Westwood who opened their store SEX in London. McLaren managed The Sex Pistols who wore the look. This included safety pins, bondage trousers and slogan t-shirts. It was very much a D.I.Y look.
The iconic SEX shop at 430 Kings Road existed until 1980 when it was rebranded by Westwood as The World's End, this shop remains there today.
To wear this trend for AW13 key pieces should be structured blazers, skirts, leather boots and tapered trousers. This can be topped off with jewellery to give an edgier look. Think multi layered necklaces and spikes.
Tartan features heavily in this trend as does leather. Don't be afraid to layer leather upon leather either. In fact layering works well in many aspects of this trend whether it be garments or accessories. Don't go overboard by layering garments and accessories together though.
For colour tones think red, white and black with dashes of mustard and the odd splash of blue grey.
Do: Wear with attitude and confidence.
Don't: Cut in a mohawk.
Next week we will look at the trend Oversized.
