BEN REY: A NEW YORK PUNK INSTITUTION
Inspired by his visits to Vivienne Westwood and Malcolm McLaren’s Let It Rock shop in London, Ben Rey began wearing his own self-made punk fashions in the 1970s and just never stopped once he relocated to New York City. He has since become a familiar sight on the streets all over the city, a walking, talking fashion institution. Larry Baumhor met Ben Rey at the Garage Antique Flea Market and over the two decades they’ve been friends, got to know him and photograph him.
