Bringing The Spirit of Punk Rock Back to its Roots

Debuting as part of a showcase presented by international fashion show producers, The Fashion Life Tour (TFL), ‘Punk It’ channels the DIY ethos and raw, rebellious spirit of a movement that redefined art, fashion, and music.

Paying homage to punk rock fashion icons like Vivienne Westwood, Jordan, and Chrissy Hynde, and soundtracked by seminal British band The Clash, the collection brings punk back to its rightful birthplace.

After all, while London, England served as the primary source of inspiration for this collection, you can’t talk about punk in the Big Apple without acknowledging those who laid the groundwork for the revolution to come.

NYC-based bands like The New York Dolls and The Velvet Underground were key influences on the birth of punk rock music, while the debut release by The Ramones, another New York group, is widely considered to be the first “punk rock” album.

The influence of these bands, and others like them, spread across the Atlantic, inspiring a London punk scene that would come to epitomize the punk rock aesthetic for generations to come.

This Saturday night, live in New York, that aesthetic gets the Unique Custom Threads treatment with five brand-new designs that celebrate not only the punk rock style, but the concepts of self-expression and nonconformity that lie at the heart of the punk spirit.

See you on the runway, it’s time to punk it up with Unique Custom Threads and Charlotte Seen!
