Punk fashion is the clothing, hairstyles, cosmetics, jewelry, and body

modifications of the punk subculture.
Today, PUNK is a nearly 30-year history of pop culture, but it will always
belong to the forefront and a unique dress culture.
PUNK LOOK advocating is cheap. Clothing purchased from second-hand
shops, although the clothes are casually and tattered, that is not a problem for
the punk's follower, anti-traditional is all on the premise.
In 1980s, Punk fashion has been extremely commercialized; many well-

established fashion designers — such as Vivienne Westwood and Jean Paul
Gaultier — have used punk elements in their production. In recent years,
Australia's new fashion brand “Tears” was re-interpretation punk culture in
their own design, created a lot of rebel and decadence series.
The following is a brief introduction of the three brands.
Vivienne Westwood can be regarded as the representative of the punk rock.
Dame Vivienne Westwood is an English fashion designer and businesswoman, largely responsible for
bringing modern punk and new wave fashions into the mainstream.
Westwood came to public notice when she made clothes for Malcolm McLaren's boutique in the King's
Road, which became famous as 'SEX'. It was their ability to synthesize clothing and music that shaped the
70s punk scene, dominated by McLaren's band, the Sex Pistols. She was deeply inspired by the shock-value
of punk.
Westwood was deeply interested in the punk fashion phenomenon of the 1970s, saying "I was messianic
about punk, seeing if one could put a spoke in the system in some way". The "punk style" included BDSM
fashion, bondage gear, safety pins, razor blades, and bicycle or lavatory chains on clothing and spiked dog
collars for jewelry, as well as outrageous make-up and hair. Essential design elements include the adoption
of traditional elements of Scottish design such as tartan fabric. Amongst the more unusual elements of her
style is the use of historical 17th and 18th century cloth cutting principles, and reinterpreting these in, for
instance, radical cutting lines to men's trousers. Use of these traditional elements makes the overall effect of
her designs more shocking.

Jean Paul Gaultier is a French haute couture and Pret-a-Porter fashion designer. Gaultier was
the creative director of Hermès from 2003 to 2010. In the past, he has hosted the television series
Eurotrash.
Gaultier never received formal training as a designer. Instead, he started sending sketches to
famous couture stylists at an early age. Pierre Cardin was impressed by his talent and hired him
as an assistant in 1970. Afterwards he worked with Jacques Esterel in 1971 and Jean Patou later
that year, then returning to manage the Pierre Cardin boutique in Manila for a year in 1974.
is first individual collection was released in 1976 and his characteristic irreverent style dates from
1981, and he has long been known as the enfant terrible of French fashion. Many of Gaultier's
following collections have been based on street wear, focusing on popular culture, whereas
others, particularly his Haute Couture collections, are very formal yet at the same time unusual
and playful.
Although most people found his designs decadent at the time, fashion editors, notably Melka
Tréanton of Elle, Claude Brouet and Catherine Lardeur of French Marie Claire, were seduced by
his creativity and immediately noticed his mastery of tailoring and later launched his career. In
1985 he introduced man-skirts, and produced sculptured costumes for Madonna during the
nineties, starting with her infamous cone bra for her 1990 Blond Ambition Tour, and designed the
wardrobe for her 2006 Confessions Tour. Gaultier has also worked in close collaboration with
Wolford Hosiery. He promoted the use of skirts, especially kilts on men's wardrobe, and the
release of designer collections.
