Dangerous, exciting, edgy and very cool. That’s what punk was back in the 1970’s. And if you were on the punk rock train, it was more than fashion, it was a way of life. It was all about pushing boundaries, and the farther out there you could go in making a statement, the more 
attention you received.
Today, punk is back with a vengence. Maybe not so much as an anti-establishment flag to wave, but absolutely as a fashion statement. Let’s break it down for us and in the world of pet apparel.
Punk’s Pedigree…
Is rich and covered the worlds of music, fashion, art, literature and film . Anarchy, and how you could express that artistically, was its central focus. Although the pre-cursors of the punk movement were established in the 50’s and 60’s, it took the creative genius of London music manager Malcolm McLaren, his band the Sex Pistols and fashion designer Vivienne Westwood to introduce punk music, fashion and art to the world with the rudeness and intensity that came to define the movement. Andy Warhol pioneered the pop art landscape in the US and bands like Television and Richard Hell and the Voidoids created punk with an American sensibility. There are many others who were seminal artists of the punk era, but we are going to explore punk fashion, in particular, and what key elements made up a punk outfit, so we can take it to the dogs!
