1977: Punk at the Fashion Museum

The re-vamped Fashion Museum has set aside an area to display fashion through photographic images. '1977' is the first of these displays.

Thirty years ago this year, punk and new wave bands played music and wore clothes that expressed their identity and demanded attention.

The images in this exhibition were taken by young, talented photographers all making their names by capturing the energetic and edgy cultural explosion known as punk.

The display features photographs of the following punk and new wave bands: The Clash, Johnny Rotten, Ari Up, The Jam, Debbie Harry, Johnny Thunders and the Heartbreakers, The Only Ones, Buzzcocks, The Ramones, The Rezillos, X-Ray Spex, Tom Robinson Band, Ian Dury, Hugh Cornwell, Elvis Costello, Gaye Advert, Don Letts, Siouxie and the Banshees, Paul Weller.
