Punk: Chaos to Couture

08.05.2013 | Blog , Culture , Fashion | BY:

The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s latest exhibition devotes itself to the last true subculture: the safety-pinned, in-your-face-spitting world of punk.

Tracing the subculture’s path from underground youth movement to haute couture influence, the exhibition features designers including Vivienne Westwood, Karl Lagerfeld and Riccardo Tisci, as well as music icons such as Johnny Rotten, Sid Vicious and The Clash.

Take a tour of the exhibition with the show’s curator Andrew Bolton in the video below.

Punk: Chaos to Couture is on display from May 9 to August 14.
