My Top 14 Picks for Best Dressed at the 2013 Met Gala

Punk is all about shock and provocation, which makes it a perfect theme for this year's Met Gala. Has there been any other subculture movement that has had a greater or more enduring influence on how we dress today? It endures today because it reflects a longing for when originality and creativity were appreciated when things were a little more provocative and confrontational. Punk and fashion complement each other because they fight for and defend individuality and self-expression.
