When you rip back the shock value of dresses made with garbage bags, others held together by safety pins or staples, skirts with strategic slashes and T-shirts fronted with provocative sayings, punk largely stood on the principles of individuality and authenticity, both so greatly valued in a DIY, Internet-savvy culture.

“Despite its best intentions, punk has come to symbolize integrity and authenticity”, said Andrew Bolton, curator of the exhibit that opens to the public on May 9, 2013. (Photo by Rob Kim)

“Punk fashion started from the street and percolated up, and suddenly couture seemed out of touch and not relevant”, said Hamish Bowles, Vogue's international editor at large. “Designers had to find a way to get in on it”. (Photo by Rob Kim)
