Dissecting the return (and reinterpretation) of the Glam Punk era

It seems like we’re still trending on the 80’s vibe—more specifically the glam punk of the earlier part of the decade. The Glam punk of the 80s, the oldest punk style, is associated with glitter, androgynous make-up, brightly-dyed hair, combat boots, and cigarette jeans. Emerging as a reaction to the flared trouser hippies, Glam punk fashion mixed basics with powerful pieces to add a rebellious touch to the woman’s outfit. This style has been extremely commercialized at various times, and many well-established fashion designers — such as Vivienne Westwood and Jean Paul Gaultier— have used punk elements in their production.The legging and cigarette jeans craze remains particularly in vogue today, and designers such as Balmain pair these must-have basics with the golds and metals of the 1980's club scene.
