Punk goes Couture: “Chaos to Couture”
I just went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in Manhattan for the first time, and the experience was such a treat! The museum is currently featuring a Punk Rock exhibit with explores punk cultures emergence from the underground to the mainstream through fashion. Just a few of the Designers featured include , Dior, Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana (Dolce and Gabbana), John Galliano, Nicolas Ghesquière (Balenciaga), Katharine Hamnett, Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren (Viktor & Rolf), Christopher Kane, Rei Kawakubo (Comme des Garçons), Karl Lagerfeld (Chanel), Helmut Lang, Martin Margiela, Malcolm McLaren, Alexander McQueen, Franco Moschino and Rossella Jardini (Moschino), Kate and Laura Mulleavy (Rodarte), Miuccia Prada, Gareth Pugh, Zandra Rhodes, Hedi Slimane (Saint Laurent), Stephen Sprouse, Jun Takahashi (Undercover), Riccardo Tisci (Givenchy), Gianni Versace, Junya Watanabe, Yohji Yamamoto, and Vivienne Westwood.
For me the exhibit was a celebration of punk cultures influence on the fashion world, but unfortunately, the museum did not delve deeper into the actual culture of the mid 1970s punk scene. True punk rockers, I believe would agree that this exhibit is the embodiment of the “punk is dead” credo. However, perhaps all fashion designers are “punk” according to the DIY lifestyle.
