Punks Not Dead!!!
The recent Occupy movements across the world and silent protests in the US at college campuses and state assemblies, has ignited a passion in people, young and old, to stand up for what they believe in, while questioning authority. Around the globe the rebellious punk mentality, concerned with personal freedom and anti establishment sentiments has made a huge comeback. The fashion world and, of course, Hollywood have taken notice. With recent spreads in Vogue and celebrities like Rihanna adding edge to her everyday style, it's safe to say, PUNKS NOT DEAD!
This, oh so beautiful, Balmain studded and safety pin lambskin leather is enough to make I (HEART) Retail Therapy's heart "a flutter" with desire and the price tag is enough to make me faint!
However, we suffer for our beauty and fashion, don't we? If the upper 4 digit price range is too much for your wallet, there are numerous ways to rock the punk look for less.
The spirit of punk culture is personal freedom and self expression, so try to rock a unique look that expresses your rebellious side. Try wearing old rock tees with a pair of leggings and a Prince fedora from "Under the Cherry Moon" See below
To complete any punk look, studs are your friend. There is no easier way to add edge to your look than with studs. With studs showing up on shoes, jewelries, handbags and clothing all over the runways, studs are definitely a great addition to your punk style (and easy to find).
This is a recent photo of Rihanna in London with studded shorts and crotch high boots. I don't know about the shirt hanging under the shorts, but hey, it still embodies the punk style (because it's her own expression of style!)
Don't be afraid to throw a little studding in your look. If you are more conservative consider a studded jewelry piece, bag or shoe. Whatever it is, rock it like you mean it!
