Punk fashion started in the 1970's, but became huge in the 80's. This outrageous and offensive style was so popular Vivienne Westwood styled her clothes off of it. Punks were daring rebels, who wore alot of black and tartan and styled them further by wearing piercings and saftey pins and tore their jeans. This was to make a statement. Being nonconformist was the attitude to have.
Make do and mend started during the second world war. It became a lifestyle for women. Making clothes from bed sheets to lining your tights with gravy was just all part of make do and mend. Simple pearls where used instead of the flashy jewellery usually worn, as everything you could give was given to the war cause. Make do and mend was hugely military inspired, so mens old trousers or blazers or shirts were usually tailored or were embelished with the buttons you would see on a military jacket.
In my opinion make do and mend is more interesting and far more classy. It intrigues me to found out how women managed to get by on so little during the war and still look so classy.
