The surrounding walls of the exhibit were made of bottles and cans with ceramic over them to mimic the punk rugged style. The exhibit focused on the DIY ("do it yourself") component of punk style by providing examples of clothing with pressed beer bottle caps, rips, paper clips, scotch tape, plastic shopping bags, trash bags, graffiti and splatter paint.

The punk galleries also showcased the history of punk fashion. Punk style originated in New York in 1964 and appeared in London in 1975. A main focus of the history of punk is the collaboration between designers Malcolm McLaren and Vivienne Westwood in the early 1970s who worked for the boutique 'Sex' in London. Westwood and McLaren are largely responsible for making punk fashion mainstream.
