2. HISTORY AND ORIGIN
• The Punk subculture emerged in the mid 1970’s in the US and UK .
• Punk fashion was an anarchic and aggressive movement.
• Punk as a movement began as a revolt against British political values.
• It began as a working-class movement which disapproved of the growing
unemployment, lack of minimum-wage policies, failure of trade-union
representations and capitalism.
• The undertone of punk was to oppose the idols of the middle class.
• Various writers, books, and literary movements were important to the
formation of the punk aesthetic.

3. • The clothes suited the lifestyle of those with limited cash due to low
income.
• Generally unkempt, often short hairstyles replaced the long-hair hippie
look and the usually elaborate 1970s rock
• Deliberately offensive T-shirts were popular in the early punk scene.
• Many female punks rebelled against the stereotypical image of a woman
by combining clothes that were delicate or pretty with clothes that were
considered masculine.

front”, both literally and figuratively.

safety pins or wrapped with masking
tape.

paints etc.

and shoes and had a lot of piercings,
leather jackets, boots etc.

6. 1980 – Early punk

believed to promote their subculture by
the music or ideology and not by
garments.

and jeans with short hair
• Women wore army pants, band t-shirts
and hooded sweatshirts.
• They shaved heads and wore boots.
