"The enduring appeal of punk's avant-garde ideology is that it inspires designers across the spectrum of design sensibility," said Lauren Santo Domingo , Co-Founder of Moda Operandi. "Each designer has created pieces for this capsule collection that expresses their unique vision of punk's rebellious spirit."

In Moda Operandi's exclusive collection, the industry's leading designers pay homage to punk with limited-edition pieces that balance rebellion and refinement; including the doyenne of punk Vivienne Westwood who fashions a corset dress in the anti-establishment's favorite pattern: tartan. The piece de resistance of Givenchy's darkly romantic creations is a studded jacket that strikes the perfect balance between goth and grandeur.

Accessories make use of punk's most iconic adornments. Eddie Borgo offers an intricately hand-studded T-shirt that's just as at home in an art gallery as it is in your closet. Artistic statements are also made in a selection of one-of-a-kind graffiti'd Dr. Martens.

For a dose of authentic anarchy, the collection also features punk-rock records, shredded band tees, and feathered mohawks.
