Punk fashion pretty much wiped out the hippe threads beginning around the mid 70's, but of course suits were only a fraction of the sartorial explosion; Richard Hell's cut-up art damaged t-shirts, bondage gear, the ubiquitous jeans, t-shirt and leather jacket, etc. all featured prominently then and still do today.
