Pleats



A fold of doubled fabric that is secured in place. A pleat is normally used to reduce a wide piece of fabric to narrower size, such as in a skirt or trousers. Pleats may be made in different ways to create different effects.



Knife pleats



These are sharp and narrow. A series of knife pleats are normally used for gathering material in a garment.



Box pleats



These consist of two parallel creases, facing in opposite directions. Box pleats give more volume to garments.



Print




An inked design applied with pressure to fabrics such as cotton, silk or polyester. Prints are usually continuous in the horizontal and vertical planes although they can be more elaborate, as in the example pictured.



Punk




An anti-establishment subculture that developed from punk rock music in the mit-1970s.

Punk fashion (first developed and commercialized by Vivienne Westwood and Malcolm McLaren through their London boutique, SEX) was originally deconstructionist and anti-fashion, and was designed to be confrontational, rebellious and shocking whit a disdain for established norms and niceties.

         

       


Military clothing, sometimes ripped or studded, characterized punk fashion in the 1970s with cropped and sometimes dyed hair.

Bands such as The Ramones, Sex Pistols and The Exploited have popularized the punk look. Punk continues to appeal to designers and has been reprised as a concept several times since the 1970s.
