Abstract

In this article we propose an analysis of the genesis of Portuguese punk fashion. Due to the overvaluation of the London reality, punk clothing reveals, at first glance, a character of homogeneity. However, through the consideration of different socio-historical realities and contexts, a more careful view of what punk fashion really was and is today may be established. In Portugal, at the time of its emergence from four decades of dictatorship, this fashion constituted a form of disruption. Through a set of interviews with key actors of the Portuguese punk scene, we will try to analyze how this disruptive fashion was triggered and, also, how it can be distinguished from other realities.
