Jessica Simpsons younger sister Ashlee Simpson has fallen into punk fashion since she was about sixteen and now it is impossible to imagine this talented singer wearing something else. She is shopping at Juicy Couture, Alexander McQueen, Marc Jacobs, Free People, D&G and Louis Vuitton and some other of her favorite fashion designers.

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 later, punk fashion went though some noticeable changes, with the shock factor remaining as the main goal. Then plaid skirts and ragged jeans, heavy combat boots, piercing and tattoos, Mohawks and spikes burst into punk fashion and streets.

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.
