The last May 6 at 7pm sharp, started the most glamorous event that take place in New York City, The Met Gala Red Carpet at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
With the subject 'PUNK: Chaos to Couture', The Met's spring 2013 Costume exhibition, started last May 9 and will be through August 14.
Featuring approximately one hundred designs for men and women, the exhibition show the punk's impact on high fashion from the movement's birth in the early 1970s through its continuing influence today, including 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 are organized around the materials, techniques, and embellishments associated with the anti-establishment style.
The themes included New York and London, and tell us the punk's origin story as a tale of two cities, following by Clothes for Heroes and four manifestations of the D.I.Y. (do -it-yourself) aesthetic—Hardware, Bricolage, Graffiti and Agitprop, and Destroy.
The clothes are animated with period music videos and soundscaping audio techniques.
It is a beautiful fashion exhibition to see if you are here or you coming to New York this season.
