So what exactly happens when feminine allure car-crashes with rebellious biker? This shoot aimed to answer this, and Camden was undeniably the perfect location.
After much sweet-talking (and several rounds in the oh so charming 'Hobgoblin' pub) I managed to persuade a group of very indigenous punks to take part in the shoot. My friend Anna kindly agreed to indulge me in what was an undeniable down-grade (considering she's signed to IMG!) and congeal in a side-street whilst traffic stopped to observe her molestation (punk on the left in particular). I wanted to contrast femininity with rebellious nihilism, heavily influenced by the wonderful Alice Dellal.
This girl totally juxtaposes feminine chic with punk-rock nihilism, admittedly with a very much optional serving of trashiness (cue – ripped tights). The flowing glossy maiden locks contrasting with shaven scalp, the bondage-esque leather and zips revealing lacy pastel bustiers – she’s breaking-rules at every imagineable level...and i think i might love her just a bit. Okay, a lot.
Plus you’ve got to admit….donning your leather jacket with a swing of your unwashed mane does make you feel, if just a little bit, badass.
