Now, you’ve no doubt heard about or even seen-facsimile CBGB bathroom that Andrew Bolton on the opening gallery Punk Met: Chaos at the exhibition which is open to the public on Thursday Couture, after tonight’s red carpet festivities. “CBGB was a punk in the heart of New York,” Bolton said at a preview this morning. “Punk is all about shock and provocation, and thus start of the exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art with a toilet properly, I think the main punk statement,” said curator Style.com.

This exhibition exposes the original (and contemporary) Vivienne Westwood punk by the luxury and haute couture looks from including Dolce & Gabbana (including the Graffiti Room, above), Maison Martin Margiela, Comme des Garcons, Dior Haute Couture by John Galliano and Gianni Versace (yes, the safety-pin gown in 1994 on display). One would be hard pressed crushed between seventy Vivienne Westwood Fall 2008 sweater and knit Rodarte dress, which exhibited side by side. Same features galleries Westwood and Malcolm McLaren obscene T-shirt (for example, the famous “breast” PVC top against a black curtain hangs). “I like that we started with T-shirts with slogans that are very sexual and political obscenity,” said Bolton. “They are still staggering thirty-seven years later, in a way, more surprising, because our political correctness.” Besides T-shirt is a reproduction of the famous and iconic McLaren and Westwood store, Seditionaries, which stood at 430 Kings Road. The rest of the show is divided into categories such as do-hardware, Graffiti and agitprop, Bricolage, and Destroy and every room interrupted the film by Nick Knight.

“There is no other subculture movement has a greater impact or a more enduring in the way we dress today,” Bolton said in his speech. Consider, as evidence, the fact that many of the Fall 2013 looks in the show, the houses like Viktor & Rolf, Saint Laurent and Gareth Pugh Fall 2013 that trash-bag dresses are set out in the crowd is right in the middle of the installation of Bricolage.

Bolton make sure to keep away from clichés, for example, he noted that the deep hairdresser Guido Paulo, who make Barbed Technicolor mop that every mannequin heads that it avoided Mohawks, and instead draws inspiration from the signature ‘Richard Hell we do.

“I want to present punk with great respect, even respectful fashion,” said Bolton. Who have received some mixed performances. And of course, there are people protesting discuss punk in high-fashion context or, in this case, the price paid for the punk-tinged couture looks. “I think it’s really punk,” Bolton said in response. “People seem to forget that punk is a real commercial traffic. Malcolm McLaren and Vivienne Westwood, by the way, creating what we know as punk look. And they commodified it,” he explained.

As for why consumers and designers from Karl Lagerfeld to host Ball With Riccardo Tisci for Givenchy, still keen to seven subcultures, Bolton offer, “Punk take the day as it reflects our desire for a future where originality and creativity are celebrated, while fashion is provocative and confrontational. And, above all, when defending individual fashion and self-expression. “
