One of the most well-known hairstyles in the punk rock movement is the mohawk -- the shaving of either side of the head, leaving a middle strip of hair that is usually spiked up sky-high.
In the fashion world, having a mohawk signifies that you are a punk rocker without a care in the world for what others think of you. These fashion editorials take that attitude one step further by adding leather jackets, studded T-shirts, black boots and chunky accessories. Dark shades of purples and blues are frequent colors incorporated into these shoots to complement the edgy attitude of the shoot. If you're looking for some punk rock inspiration, check how celebrities like Rihanna rock the mohawk look.
These edgy high-fashion editorials showcase how mohawks are the epitome of punk rock culture.
