Punk tends to lean towards modifying what you have with what tools are available, and shopping second-hand. As a bonus, the inherent aesthetic is harder for the fashion industry to co-opt.

The punk aesthetic was invented by a man who owned a fashion label and had his own storefront.

He ripped it off from a man who was one of punk's founding fathers.

Give us a name to go with the face, at least.
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that's Richard Hell.

Correct!

For those not in the know, he was a member of a number of New York punk bands in the 70s. Malcolm McLaren nicked his style (along with that of others) and brought it over to England to sell in his clothing store Sex.

Punk, like 80s punk? Safety pin piercings, jackets with the arms torn off, covered in handsewn patches, egg-white hair glue?

Late 70s Punk.

Joke's on him, I never paid him a penny

I think I once spent 99 cents on his cover of she's not there.

I think hand repaired and hand sewn stuff could easily be it. “I made this dress before taking down the stock exchange”

Maybe. But it's a craft that takes a lot of practice to get good at, and a lifetime to master.

Yeah, you can't expect to be successful the first time you try to take down a stock exchange

I still don’t think anyone who’s in the hacktivist scene really gives a shit or at least doesn’t give a shit on whole any more than any other group does.

Let me spend several months trying to identify exploits while siting at my computer but also take the time every day to coordinate a cute outfit…
