Rewind to 1975, William English needed a portfolio as part of his application to National Film School and the Royal College. He ended up in Sex and shot this fiery little pixied model before a severed leg and later wearing a transparent rubber suit.

I was dismayed that they took no interest whatsoever in the pictures. I mean they just blanked them, wouldn’t even discuss them. In retrospect they may have thought I was aiming to get involved in making porn films!

Later after Vivienne Westwood mannequined for the shoot, the punk movement was born. These photos are displayed at the Maggs Gallery until May 20. [via The Look]
