The style was set in the mainstream by Malcom Mclaren's shop which included t-shirts, leather jackets, spikes to long haired hippie styles, to statement designed apparel that shout rebellion. This is the time where spike styles became prevalent: fishnet stockings, spike bands and other studded or spiked jewelry, safety pins, silver bracelets and make-up that is characterized by heavy eyeliner.Also on trend on were razor blades, chains, leather, rubber and vinyl material that well incorporated the aesthetic metal experience with the essence of fashion and design. The footwear which was popular during this era was suedes, all star sneakers, boots, tight leather pants, trousers with leopard patterns and bowler hats and braces.
