"Curator Andrew Bolton shows great calm and patience in the scope of his research into punk's frenetic effects. His underlying aim is to prove that punk was more than just the cliche of mohicans and bad skin, but was a swirling, chaotic period of great experimentation in style. No linear study, the book offers a wide-ranging overview of the persistence of punk's influence . . . The big coup of the book is its introductory essay by both Richard Hell and John Lydon, he who previously went by the name of Johnny Rotton."-Charlie Porter, V&A Magazine -- Charlie Porter * V&A Magazine * "This striking catalogue, published to accompany the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute show of the same name, claims that "no other countercultural movement has had a greater or more enduring influence on high fashion."
