I was able to this exhibition in person and wanted to relive some of it with the book. Book is lacking in the richness and breadth of the exhibition.

Despite a few minor problems, Punk is a gorgeous book. The dissonance between the haute couture philosophy of punk and the conspicuous consumption of the exhibitions catalogued in this book was a bit jarring at times. Still, I feel like I learned a good amount about punk and a little about fashion, so I’ll easily call it a successful and enjoyable reading experience. Also everyone in it is hot. Except Sid Vicious. Fuck Sid Vicious.
