"The Met's spring 2013 Costume Institute exhibition, PUNK: Chaos to Couture,
will examine punk's impact on high fashion from the movement's birth in
the early 1970s through its continuing influence today. Featuring
approximately one hundred designs for men and women, the exhibition will
include original punk garments and recent, directional fashion to
illustrate how haute couture and ready-to-wear borrow punk's visual
symbols.
Focusing on the relationship between the punk concept of
"do-it-yourself" and the couture concept of "made-to-measure," the seven
galleries will be organized around the materials, techniques, and
embellishments associated with the anti-establishment style. Themes will
include New York and London, which will tell punk's origin story as a tale of two cities, followed by Clothes for Heroes and four manifestations of the D.I.Y. aesthetic—Hardware, Bricolage, Graffiti and Agitprop, and Destroy."
The exhibit goes on May 9th to Aug. 14th. See you there!
