Punk rock fashion hit the scene more than 35 years ago, rebelling against the perceived pretentiousness of mainstream music and mainstream culture as a whole. Its movement was all about making a significant statement in handmade clothing that spits on materialism. But over time, the fashion world was finding inspiration in the underground punk rock movement. So much so that major fashion designers like Vivienne Westwood and Jean Paul Gaultier began using punk elements in their collections, and fashion magazines began featuring punk-inspired hairstyles and clothing. Today, the appeal of punk rock clothes crosses over several music genres and types of personalities.
