Punk: On and Off The Red Carpet
Punk Inspiration
Inspired by the Gala and the Costume Institute’s ‘PUNK: Chaos to Couture’ show, we picked out some of our favorite punk-influenced pieces from SSENSE to bring into our wardrobe.
Night Out
Go for asymmetrical shaped dresses in black and hot pink, two of punk’s most basic colors. Or walk the line between edgy and ladylike in Alexander McQueen’s corseted numbers.
