Fashion Film: Blood Rose

Lady Amanda Harlech teamed up with our head of fashion film Marie Schuller to capture her visions of punk. Their film plays with connotations of death, using a spot of blood seeping through fabric to organically create abstract shapes reminiscent of roses.

Harlech explains, 'The idea for the film began from pain as expression. That emotional truth has to be voiced. Punk for me was about being heard and understood. I began with an image of a baby chewing a razor blade and moved through a red rose blossoming as a heart with petals of blades. The blood became a flowering. The beauty of truth is that blossoming - the Blood Rose - to say what we mean.'
