    Punk fashion has taken on new resonance as brands and designers increasingly reference political and social issues in their work. The article discusses how fashion is in a self-aware period, with spring 2018 runways featuring bold statements and designs that commented on topics like sexism, fake news, and various political situations through stylistic choices and silhouettes. While some question if resistance can truly be reduced to aesthetics or worn by those in high-end clothes, fashion is proving influential in both obvious and subtle reactions to current events and perspectives.

    On Fashion's Forever Long Love Affair

    With Punk
    Why the age-old trend has a new resonance now
    BY KENYA HUNT
    16/03/2018

    Can resistance ever be boiled down to a look? And can you be down for
    the cause while simultaneously wearing fresh-off-the-runway designer
    wares? Fashion is arguably at one of its most self-aware periods in
    recent history, with brands and designers reacting to global events,
    politics and the zeitgeist in both refreshingly explicit and strategically
    subtextual ways. There was so much to speak up about during the
    spring runways: sexism (Dior and Prada), 'fake news' (Balenciaga), the
    state of America (Calvin Klein), the state of Britain (Preen). The spring
    runway shows were a season of bold statements and sartorial side eyes
    at the patriarchy/establishment/insert your ill here.
