Punk fashion isn't just for aging rockers and angst-ridden twentysomethings, as 'The New Wave' by Lucie Crewdson demonstrates. This shoot features a young model rocking [denim vests, leather jackets, fur](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/at-the-edge-of-time), and the perfect [punk rock scowl](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zero-skateboards).

As emo teens and tweens grow into young adulthood, it's only natural that they should seek something edgier. I love the effortless, comfortable styles seen in 'The New Wave' by Lucie Crewdson.

**Implications** - The featured images have a blueish tint to them that helps them take on a very emo effect. Although [emo style](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/songs-of-siren) often reflects youngsters that are down-in-the-dumps, the featured model is full of smiles. She is probably happy about all the amazing styles she got to try on!
