Punk: Chaos to Couture!

PUNK: Chaos to Couture is AMAZING!

THE Met Museum's Punk: Chaos to Couture exhibition was one of its most successful in history. The Costume Institute show's run came to a close this week. And I went to see Punk, 7 times! Its just spectacular and a major inspiration!

An ode to the punk movement and its impact on the fashion industry, the showcase featured over 100 pieces of both men's and women's fashion, from designers such as Vivienne Westwood, Alexander McQueen, Rodarte, Dolce & Gabbana, Marc Jacobs and Alexander Wang (including that Gianni Versace safety-pin dress worn by Elizabeth Hurley in 1994.)

 

The exhibition ran from May 9 (its opening was celebrated in conjunction with the annual Met Ball) until August 14, and received 442,350 visitors - making it the fifth most-popular installation in the last 25 years, reports WWD. 

The four exhibits to surpass that visitor number were those dedicated to Alexander McQueen, fashion superheroes, Jackie Kennedy and Chanel.
I wish the Punk exhibit at the Met, could be longer!!!
