Ponystep's Richard Mortimer poses the big question, 'what is punk?', all while discussing Su Pollard, Vivienne Westwood and Patricia Field.

To celebrate and unpick punk's lasting influence on high fashion, SHOWstudio asked a range of our favourite editors and stylists to tell us about their top punk moment on the catwalk. In candid phone chats with Lou Stoppard, fashion's great and good assess punk's transition from 'chaos to couture', offering up personal anecdotes, show memories and shrewd fashion analysis. Echoing the raw DIY aesthetic of the original punk movement, these fashionable soundbites are captured in rough audio recordings and displayed alongside imagery from the selected show.
