The 2013 Costume Institute exhibition "PUNK: Chaos to Couture," which followed the Met Gala, aimed to explore the influence of punk on high fashion, from the movement's birth in the early 1970s to its impact on fashion today. There was a showcase of approximately one hundred designs for both men and women, featuring original punk garments and recent, directional fashion, to demonstrate how haute couture and ready-to-wear borrow punk's visual symbols.

The seven galleries in the exhibition were organized based on the materials, techniques, and embellishments associated with the anti-establishment style, and focused on the relationship between the punk concept of "do-it-yourself" and the couture concept of "made-to-measure." The themes in the galleries included New York and London, which tell punk's origin story as a tale of two cities, followed by "Clothes for Heroes" and four manifestations of the D.I.Y. aesthetic: Hardware, Bricolage, "Graffiti and Agitprop, and Destroy.
