We wrote about the cover of this November issue, but 'The Neo Blitz Kids' in 160G Magazine is one of the editorials therein. The pictorial was shot by Ben Cope and features models frolicking in neo-punk fashions--including sheer, lacy leggings worn over underwear as outerwear.
We've watched 70s and 80s punk fashion bubble up into the mainstream, so it's only natural that the subculture should similarly evolve in new directions. 'The Neo Blitz Kids' in 160G features button-covered leather jackets and tailored blazers with t-shirts for the men, and dresses with corset-like cues and curve-hugging ruching for the women. Hot.
