The punk aesthetic was invented by a man who owned a fashion label and had his own storefront.

He ripped it off from a man who was one of punk's founding fathers.

Give us a name to go with the face, at least.
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that's Richard Hell.

Correct!

For those not in the know, he was a member of a number of New York punk bands in the 70s. Malcolm McLaren nicked his style (along with that of others) and brought it over to England to sell in his clothing store Sex.

Punk, like 80s punk? Safety pin piercings, jackets with the arms torn off, covered in handsewn patches, egg-white hair glue?

Late 70s Punk.

I think I once spent 99 cents on his cover of she's not there.
