A social movement with a soundtrack

After a trip down  to penn and back up to columbus circle armed with umbrellas, we hit the Met for a quick 45 minute tour. Definitely not enough time. I b-lined for the punk fashion show. It had gotten some negative reviews and I understand why. A movement started by poor and working class as retaliation against the disparity of wealth represented by dresses inspired by moth eaten clothes for a purchase price of $5,000.

Seems a little off.

Interesting to see that Vivian Westwood's first designs were made of muslin, a very inexpensive material and worn by original punk icons.

I did wish I could have spent more time with the show, but it was off to Harlem for over priced soul food.
