Well punk may be dead in New York, but its rein- carnation was alive and rock- ing in Terre Haute in i80. Actually, Punk in Terre Haute is a curious mixture of Old Punk, New Wave, and Mod. Itis a marria e of this New Rock music an the fash- ions that are identified with it caught on with the avant-garde trend-setters at ISU. Rock and roll has been around for almost 25 years. Yet the raw, driving sound of rocks early heroes-Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley, the R011- ing tones, and The Who be- came pasteurized by the slick studio-sounds of soft rock bands like Fleetwood Mac and the Eagles. However, the New Rock bands, such as The Sex Pistols, the Talking Heads, Blondie, and B-52s rose up to challen e the soft rock suprem- acy of t c 19703 with the clean sound of a few guitars, drums, and a keyboard instrument, coupled with an aggressive beat and powerful singers. With so many new styles of music bursting out at the same time, pop music followers have had to create their own fashion identities, and the Punks of - a .m' Terre Haute were no different. The Goodwill Store and B. and B. Discount in Rockville were favorite iiboutiquesii of local Punks. Everything from Poly- ester mini-dresses with fishnet stockings to bag y 193m. pin- striped suits wit skinny ties were ea erly grabbed up as fashion inds. Of course, cat- seye and wrap-around sun glasses were standard equip- ment; the wider the better. When Terre Haute Punks in- vaded the local party scene iiPunk Partiesi, became the itinii places to go, and Punks were seen more and more in area bars and night clubs. Terre Hauteis Punks ado ted the Tools, at local New Roe band, as their favorite en- tertainment, and could be s tted right off, dancing to t e Tools innovative sound. But then wherever Punks are, you can bet there is some hard- core a m om on. This? 53-dt3gstguctigve chic that caught fire in New York may Izod was THE look for spring. That little alligator became quite the recognized status symbol of fine dressing. Jerry Thompson and Crystal Smith are shown here in Izod from head to toe. Jerry iisports and Izod creme sweater with maroon and kelly stripes, an Izod golf shirt, visor and socks. Crystal's horizontal stripes are green, gold and white, with a com- plimentary white stand-up collar and white belt. T-shirt dresses- with or without an alligator-were another big summer fashion item. All photos by Jennie Hardesty and Steve Buchelt. Degtegg Terre Haute Style- i, have burnt itself out, but here in Hoosier land, students are punking outh and enjoying it. iiPunksii Bob Sciotto and Sue Lashley dress the part to the hilt in pinstripes and taffeta, narrow tie and shaded hose. Accessories are a Punkis trade- mark, tho. Notice the reds on Sue, the dogcollar, and the glasses on both. Copy by Susan Lashley, April 1980 Fashions 29
