With punk as the focus of the Met's annual Costume Institute installation,PUNK: Chaos to Couture examines the growth of punk from its 1970s origins to its influence in modern fashion. The exhibition, which features designers such as Christopher Kane, Rei Kawakubo, Karl Lagerfeld, Helmut Lang, Gianni Versace and Vivienne Westwood, includes nearly 100 designs for men and women ranging from original punk garments to recent designs that use punk elements: paillettes replaced by safety pins and feathers by razor blades. The clothes in the exhibition are accompanied by period music videos from iconic punk bands including the Ramones, Sex Pistols and The Clash. For more information, visitmetmuseum.org.
