Moda Operandi’s Taylor Tomasi Hill weighs in on the current punk craze with these exclusive picks:
1) It’s no secret that Vivienne Westwood is the queen of punk fashion — and this corset proves why. The colors of the tartan are an added bonus to the amazing fit, which, for me, is what makes it irresistible. I would layer it over the Thom Browne shirt for a complete look. Vivienne Westwood Dual-Tartan Corset with Train, $2,725 at Moda Operandi
2) I consider myself an ambassador of the drop-crotch pant, so I was excited to see these as part of our exclusive collection with Givenchy. Givenchy Silk Cady Trousers with Skirt, $1,690 at Moda Operandi
3) I’m always a fan of layering. In my opinion, why wear one ring when you can wear 5? Due Ponti Silicone Ring w/ Diamond Inset, $85 at Moda Operandi
4) I love this shirt. It was adapted from a menswear piece from a past collection. It’s clean and classic with a special twist. Thom Browne Oxford Armed Shirt, $625 at Moda Operandi
5) When I first heard that the theme of the Met was “punk,” I immediately thought of how cool it would be to shoot something with Mohawks. NY Vintage customized these for us, and I’ve test-driven this electric blue one a couple of times. New York Vintage Blue Peacock Mohawk, $1,500 at Moda Operandi
6) Victor Fung at Klughaus Gallery in Brooklyn customized these boots exclusively for Moda Operandi — and each pair is one of a kind. Dr. Martens Graffiti Boot, $445 at Moda Operandi
