Pass on punk

Madonna at the Met Ball, May 2013

As far as my involvement in the punk trend goes, it only stretches as far as my checked bathrobe. I have never been one for punk trends, so I was not overjoyed at the prospect of an autumn-winter season filled with studs, mohawks, rips and fishnets. Again.

Although it was a big part of the new urban scene in London, and therefore plays a role in our heritage, as far as I am concerned it should be left in the history books along with bonnets and long johns.

Having said that, I do think that the August cover of British Vogue is very appealing, and I have already mentioned the lovely checkered outerwear of the Celine AW13 collection here. So although I will personally be passing on the punk and gearing more towards pink (as a personal preference), I think it can be done tastefully and in a way which emulates one's own personal style, and not that of a past generation.
