Abstract
Fashion subcultures represent dynamic and influential movements within the fashion landscape, shaping trends, identities, and social interactions. the evolution and significance of alternative fashion subcultures, examining their origins, aesthetics, and cultural impact. Drawing upon interdisciplinary perspectives from sociology, anthropology, and cultural studies, this paper analyzes the emergence of fashion subcultures as sites of resistance, creativity, and self-expression. From punk and goth to rave and streetwear, each subculture embodies its own distinct style, values, and ethos, challenging mainstream norms and fostering a sense of belonging and community among its members.
