Young American singer Ashlee Simpson became quite famous over the last five years. She is Jessica Simpsons younger sister and though both celebs took up singing, I think Ashlee has succeeded much more than her elder sister. These celebrities are very different in their style as well. Thus Ashlee Simpson worships punk fashion and among her most loved designers are Alexander McQueen, Vans, Marc Jacobs, Urban Outfitters, Free People and others, while Jessica prefers glamour fashion and style.
Her best loved casual style is edging the skater punk. Loose hooded sweatshirts, faded jeans and slip-on shoes are her common friends in the street. She is rarely seen dressed some other way, especially in her everyday life.
Over the last years punk fashion has been recovering from a quite long sleep and Ashlee Simpson was one of those celebs who chose this style and made it popular again. Punk fashion is nothing else but the way of dressing that reflects the punk subculture. As soon as the punk music was set up in the early seventies, it was obvious that fashion industry would follow it at once.
Famous British designer Vivienne Westwood has actually invented punk style and thus she influenced punk fashion like nobody else. Punk fashion at that times consisted of vulgar clothes, studded jeans and tattered jackets, disputable images and various anarchy symbols all over.
A little later the bondage style clothing rushed into punk subculture with those different straps over the corduroy pants, chain belts and of course bell-bottomed jeans. The punk hairstyle followed and was all about bright colors dyed hair and radical hair sets.
Ten years after that, the punk style became revolutionized and at that period most people were wearing combat boots, heavy chains, tattered jeans or plaid skirts and of course Mohawks and liberty spikes.
Today, so many things have changed. And although the general population of punk subculture followers prefer modern punk fashion and usually wear simple T-shirts and hoodies, the Do It Yourself clothing style is hosting the todays fashion ball. But the original punk look back in the seventies will remain in the heart of every punk.
