For the outfits of my the band, I've looked at the style of a variety of punk artist.
The Sex Pistols had a very thrown-together look and it was all about making a statement - the ripped Union Jacks, defaced Queen's head and Swastikas - the purpose was to shock. Even though I love their style and the whole point was to shock people I don't want the possibility of offending and alienating people by using something as emotive as a Swastika on the front cover.
For some of The Jam's photo shoots they were dressed smartly set in worn down areas like graffiti walls and the underground.
Some of the post-punk bands have adopted a more indie look with the skinny jeans, skinny tie and blazers.
I think I will go for a mix between the smart suit style and the rough, ripped look. I think the main colour will be black with some colour for the tie and shirts. I really like this photo of The Clash, the style of the skinny trousers and leather jacket with the shirt and tie underneath.
