Punkouture. Cucire una rivolta 1976-1986

Punkouture is a guide, divided into sections; a path that recomposes an international panorama of everything that has been created for punk, without missing any area: from clothing to hair and make-up trends, from footwear to accessories, from magazines to the brands and stores that have made the history of punk style.  After the lucky Pics off! Matteo Torcinovich gives to punk music fans, as well as fashion and fashion trends lovers, an unpublished collection that explores – once again thanks to an extraordinary and spectacular photographic kit – the style of a decade absolutely unique and unrepeatable. A style, the punk one, that affirms its new identity and creates a personalized image using ordinary things recovered, old objects found in drawers, wardrobes and in the attic. An invitation to experimentation, do-it-yourself, asymmetry and spectacularity also promoted by magazines and fanzines that publish tips and suggestions for young people. So the new aesthetic takes shape and expands like wildfire all over the World.


Always passionate and omnivorous collector of music, especially vinyl and documents related to the new wave punk movement. Co-founder of the art collective Death Tricheco, graphic designer for the fanzine L\’age D\’Or and the monthly Jamais Bourgeois. Author of Buy or Die! The Residents + Ralph Records + Other related artwork 1972-2016 (Good Fellas edizioni), Punkouture. Sewing a riot. 1976-1986 (Nomos Edizioni).
