Punk's Influence on Mainstream Fashion


- The most stylistic elements of punk (the "do it yourself" style creations) such as studded jackets, torn jeans, where the easiest elements exploit.


- Vivienne Westwood's designs fed back directly into the comercial market, intergrating the punk aesthetic into the society's culture.




- All these pieces of Westwood's are now created for the world of high fashion and a worth far more than the ideology of punk would allow. This is an example of "the commodity form" of intergration.
