Met Museum in NYC to Celebrate Punk Fashion

Alan Cross 1 Comment

A new exhibit featuring the most influential forms of punk rock fashion–From Chaos to Couture–opens in New York May 9.  From Reuters:

It includes 100 punk styles and ranges from the mid-70s at Vivienne Westwood’s and Malcolm McLaren’s London boutique and images of The Sex Pistols to examples of punk’s impact on haute couture and designers such as Alexander McQueen, Helmut Lang, Miuccia Prada and John Galliano.

Films and music from the era and a re-creation of the graffiti-covered toilet at New York’s CBGB punk rock club, where Blondie, the Ramones and Talking Heads played, add to the gritty authenticity of the exhibit.

True punks are appalled, I’m sure.  Read more here.  And here’s coverage of the gala.  Here too.
