History of
Punk is considered to be a continuation of the hippie movement, which was so popular in the 1960s. Flower people loved peace, lived and loved freely, without any restrictions for themselves, by all means protested against war and violence. Later, there was a transformation of attitudes in society and a protest appeared in relation to everything - to oneself, to society, to its rules, to the whole world. In the 1970s, the punk movement flourished to the fullest extent, and music contributed to its development.
Translated from English, the word punk has several meanings: bad, trashy, scumbag. The pioneer in this direction was the American group Ramones, which was the first to behave indecently on stage, loudly singing their songs. The audience took this madness.
The punk-style clothes were first laid by designer Vivienne Westwood, who created clothes for her husband's band Malcolm McLaren, the producer of the Sex Pistols. Vivien was not a seamstress, but tried to sew as it turned out. As a result, things that were quite unusual for that time appeared - torn trousers, strange T-shirts with ties instead of traditional strapless. T-shirts adorned with scandalous inscriptions.
In a short period, the Vivienne Westwood store became the center of attraction for punks. Here you can find jackets sewn from different pieces of fabric and chipped with pins, trousers with divorces after soaking in bleach ... Rivets, badges, ropes, spikes were used as decorations. And, of course, representatives of the punk environment could immediately be recognized by the hairstyle - Iroquois.
In the mid-70s of the last century, thanks to the efforts of designers, the punk style from the streets stepped onto the podiums. Since that period, punk fashion has undergone several transformations, which resulted in different post-punk styles. And modern fashion houses continue to find inspiration for creating their new collections and to develop a shocking style.
