Style your punk!
THE "SO PUNK RIVE GAUCHE" EVENT AT LE BON MARCHÉ, UNTIL 20 OCTOBER
This season, punk style is set to influence your wardrobe... and even your attitude.
Create something truly special with some clever customisation. Embrace alternative fashion by opting for upcycling. Pile on as much jewellery as you want. Mix and match motifs... Wear it all together without worrying about whether it’s too much or not enough, coordinating or clashing.
Le Bon Marché has put together a practical guide to help you get a modern and stylish punk inspired look, rive gauche style!
Mix it all up!
Punk style means breaking the rules and embracing fearless fashion.
Covered with studs, various kinds of badges and punk slogans, start by donning a perfecto*, a cult item of clothing emblematic of the punk movement.
Le Bon Marché stocks a wide range of perfectos from Shoreditch Ski Club, Harris Wharf and Schott!

Stacks of jewellery
Bold design and daring combinations… punk inspired ear jewellery is certainly one way of ensuring you stand out.
Choose one pair or try stacking multiple pairs to combine a variety of piercings for adorning your lobes and cartilage.
Don't forget: Maria Tash, a leading light in luxury piercing will be setting up shop at Le Bon Marché to coincide with the So Punk event. It specialises in: designing the perfect adornment with just the right number of jewels placed exactly where they are needed, to complement the curve of the ear. In addition to these creations – each one more precious and desirable than the last – it was the brand's expertise in bespoke piercing that made its studios in London and New York famous… An art in itself.
