About punk

What is punk? As early as 1 928, punk first appeared to refer to crime. In 1960s, it experienced a burst of passion, hurricane and turbulence. Hippies and rock music express their dissatisfaction with society in a very self-centered way. The 20th century? Punk in the O era may be a new individual derived from hippies, but it has gradually embarked on a road contrary to hippie culture. At first, it was just a group of boring young laborers on the edge of employment and unemployment. They were "disgusted" with the traditional cultural trends left over from the 1960s. They tear or dirty their clothes and tie them with rags with huge pins. They not only like to decorate with dog chains or bicycle chains, but also show their injured or scratched bodies, and they have a special liking for heavy kicking boots. The girl is wearing a skirt with torn sides, a tight Angora sweater and a pair of sandals with spikes. Their faces are painted with blue-and-white powder, black eyes and black lips, and their hair is trimmed into short fluff or cut into various "rocket-like" hairstyles and dyed into unnatural colors, such as red, green, lavender and orange. On weekends, gangsters will gather in a shop at 430 King's Road, London. This fashion shop selling punk's favorite clothes was established in 1 97|, and besides, it will organize some related entertainment activities. The shopkeepers are vivienne westwood and Malcolm Clarence. On the growth road of punk style, these are two crucial figures, which can also be said to have made the fashion style of the 1970s.

Looking for motivation from old clothes, copying, cutting, collage, assembling all the impossible things together, and their own creativity, make them have a popular personality, which should be the reason why vivienne westwood became the "mother of punk". When a woman wears a T-shirt that can reveal rubber underwear and walks around a fishnet scarf in the streets of London, making men and women stunned, she has been immersed in the fog of fashion and can't resist this amazing move as usual. Soon, those young people wearing unfriendly black leather clothes and tight pants appeared in the streets in droves and wandered aimlessly. This attempt to impress people's eyes through extreme costumes spread all over Europe and even North America in a short time, and more styles were derived. Punk's attitude is actually influenced by social environment. Unemployment and lack of money make young people full of rebellious psychology. They used their clothes to express their resistance to society, which also caused many social emotions such as anger, fear and pity. So punk is always associated with violence and sex. Nevertheless, this trend, which originated from the working class, was not banned and retired because of various extreme emotions and conditions, but gradually spread to the upper middle class and was widely adopted. In terms of clothing language, people can appreciate the desires and entreaties expressed by punk and hope to attract people's attention: too stubborn and too rigid.

The neglect of children by exhausted parents; Let most people face unemployment and confused society ... the initial desire of punk behavior should be related to this. However, in Britain at that time, punk was disturbing, which implied anger, pity, sin and fear. No matter how people evaluate the decadence and negativity created by this artificial carving, punk finally drew a striking and arrogant stroke in the field of modern clothing, and its almost arrogant expression erected a striking fashion banner for the 1970s at the crossroads.

Vivienne westwood and her punk ideas have triggered a series of popular trends. However, the upsurge of healthy sports and dancing in 1970s stimulated the potential demand for sportswear in the whole fashion field.

It stands on the opposite side of punk. Lycra fiber, developed in 1959, was formally used in sportswear and fashion design in 1970s. At this time, the coverage of knitted garments is infinitely expanded, and dazzling knitwear is gradually losing weight while enriching its own team.
