Fashion has always been a way of expression. These subcultures were formed as breakaways from rigid societies and communal norms. Groups that identified themeselves and adapted everything that was not “mainstream”. While there were tea parties and elegant suits, they stood apart by wearing ripped jeans and printed Tees. While women were asked to dress like ladies the hippies and punks begged to differ. These sense of identification soon became a strong fashion statement.
Ripped jeans, chokers, Fishnet stockings, black nail polish, tie-dyes, frilled skirts, biker’s jackets; they were all a part of a subculture.
You can thank these subcultures to have given that current wardrobe their cachet!
