Description
Whether it’s the ripped jeans and studs of 1970s punk to the make-up heavy looks of 1980s new romantics, the visual politics of alternative (‘alt’) fashion have always been proudly divergent from mainstream culture. Aligning with music scenes and subcultures as far back as the 1950s and 60s; from rockabilly and the hippy movements to the grunge and rave period of the 1990s and the noughties’ emo and cyberpunk styles, these are ‘scenes’ long synonymous with angst and rebellion.
