The Punk era was a time of rebellion and to be as extreme as possible. With hair tattoos and jewelry. The Punk fashions started during the late 1970's and early 1980's. Popular shoes were military boots, Chuck's and Dr. Martens. The punks also wore spiked jewelry, whether it be a necklace, a belt or a bracelet. Their ripped jeans were often held together by safety pins or wrapped with tape. Their clothes were highly offensive. They dyed their hair unnatural colors such as red pink, yellow and green and fixed it into a mohawk. Later on their hairstyles became very spikey and often referred to as Liberty Spikes. Leather, rubber and vinyl were also very popular, possibly due to their connection with bondage and S&M. The Punk subculture was centered around very loud music, punk-rock as it was described. The punks were also very political, they had a lot of views on politics. "Punk-related ideologies are mostly concerned with individual freedom and anti-establishment view". (wikipedia: Punk Subculture). In this photo you will see your typical punk fashion and especially the punk hairstyles that were very popular. They also wore shirts with the name of bands and dark ripped jeans. (Photo unknown Men, Punks 1982). Marc Jacobs Spring Summer 2010 collection shows us his inspiration of the Punk era. The baggy pants, blazer and spikey hair.
