Vaquera FW23 Brings Punk Back

But the true beauty of punk, or resisting the mainstream, is that interpretations of such are varied. There is no one true archetype or symbol of resistance, but it can instead take many forms. Vaquera’s design partners, Patric DiCaprio and Bryn Taubensee, highlight this duality by contrasting hardcore looks with softer, feminine ensembles incorporating ballet-slipper pink mesh, sequined frocks, and white faux-fur stoles. It’s the stuff of dreams… or nightmares… or both?

Through juxtaposing disruptive leather and tattered denim looks with white nightgowns and debutante skirts and dresses, Vaquera shows that the brand is not at all departing from its subversive roots, but penning yet another chapter of its story with the clothing, as always, taking center stage as the lead star.
