40s Punk Fashion

Adolfo Sanchez Autumn/Winter 2010 Blends the Best of Past & Present

The Adolfo Sanchez Autumn/Winter 2010 collection shown at L.A. Fashion Week was inspired by the fashions of 1940s, but with an edgy punk-rock twist.

Models strutted down the runway in leather and denim corsets embellished with crystals, spikes, chains, and handpainted phrases. The Adolfo Sanchez Autumn/Winter 2010 collection was awash in chunky hardware accessories, grommet-covered cuffs and haute hats. Fur also made an appearance in the form of recycled mink and muskrat vests, scarves and even bracelets.
