Never Mind the Bollocks.. this is Punk 2011..

Punk has always been an influence on fashion since The Sex Pistols began and Vivienne Westwood started her iconic fashion label. Punk is all about having a fierce fashion statement and going against the grain, rebelling against the 'norm' and not becoming a fashion clone.

Alice Dellal, is one of the modern role models for amazing punk fashion, both day and night, she oozes punk sexuality and has an air of 'I don't care' mentality.. She is my Punk fashion icon 2011!

Daytime Punk
Punk should look 'no effort', just got out of bed hair and I just 'threw these clothes on, cause they were clean' type style, but obviously don't do that!
An easy daytime punk look is simple but edgy, a pair of heavy boots, a pair of coloured tights, I love khaki and taupe atm, or black, with ripped denim shorts with a button up shirt, giving it the 2011 punk twist, and of course punk's ultimate accessory a leather jacket.. I'm loving Gisele Bundchen's Campaign for Balenciaga so fresh and edgy.

Glam Punk
2011's punk is the traditional elements with a modern twist, be influenced by Balmain's slick punk look it's fresh sexy and strong, or take inspiration from e Courtney Love in her prime, piling on necklaces and mixing fabrics to create an eclectic look or the obvious rock chick Kate Moss and go simple sexy with a lbd with black boots. Punk should have no rules but steer clear of over the top studs, I'd leave the safety pins to the designers (don't add your own), and to keep it modern do not go out in complete black, few people can pull this off, you want Punk not Goth!!

Whatever, Doll!

Bye! Bye!
