Dig out those Dr. Martens, and start practicing your snarl. PUNK: Chaos to Couture takes over the Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute May 9 through August 11. Acknowledging what curator Andrew Bolton calls punk’s “incendiary influence on fashion,” the multimedia exhibition will focus on how designers appropriated and adapted the visual symbols of punk’s anarchic DIY aesthetic. Will Anna Wintour pogo at the Gala Benefit? We doubt it. But just look at all the punk references on the Fall 2013 runways. It won’t be hard for attendees to get on theme.
