Fashion Film: Helen Bullock

With a soundtrack by X-Ray Spex, Helen Bullock's fashion film explores the aggression of punk through a whirlwind of kitsch and twee aesthetics.

'I've never felt very represented by the notion of punk that you often see in fashion - and I couldn't find a way out of the stereotypical safety pin and tartan or the glamorised version often adopted,' explains Bullock. 'Looking more at the early days, I started to connect with the aggression, but not necessarily the anger - instead more the explosive reactionary nature. After listening to an interview on Woman's Hour with Oonagh O'Hagan, I got stuck on her comment that punk was a 'massive angry argument in your face.' I loved that physical reference. And equally that it was spoken on Woman's Hour, allowing for an association with a more sunny disposition.'
