Implications - The recession and concurrent revival of punk fashion created a perfect storm for angst-ridden fashion. Studs, spikes, chains, exposed zippers, combat boots and safety pins are all elements we've seen in fashion before, but they were resuscitated during this period to add an edge to everyday consumers' outfits. Instead of head-to-toe punk outfits, as we saw in the 80s and 90s, this era's angst fashion focuses on separates.
