Joe Corré, son of Vivienne Westwood and Sex Pistols manager Malcolm McLaren, talked to us about his new documentary film “Wake Up Punk.”
LONDON — Despite multiple attempts on its life, punk just won’t die: It stomped through the London spring 2020 men’s collections at shows such as Charles Jeffrey, and pierced its way through Riccardo Tisci’s latest collections for Burberry and Versace’s fall Nineties-inspired outing, where the front-row gift was a plastic pack of gold safety pins in a variety of sizes.
Corré, a clothing entrepreneur, investor and environmental activist, was referring to the wave of punk-lite merch created to mark the anniversary, including Virgin Money credit cards with a Sex Pistols theme. The dramatic memorabilia burning is the centerpiece of “Wake Up Punk,” which Corré has made with the director Nigel Askew. The film spends a lot of time with Westwood, who talks about punk, her approach to design, her dysfunctional relationship with McLaren and raising two sons alone while running a business — and fighting the anarchists’ fight.
She also talks about life as a single mother: She recalls clothing dye bubbling in a pan on the kitchen stove, and dipping the chunky wheels of Joe’s toy tractors in it and then rolling them over T-shirts. Those were the more tame designs. Other T-shirts came printed with obscenities or half-dressed men in intimate poses — and were duly seized by police. Her response? She just kept printing.
“There are bits of the film that make me cringe, but they are there because I think they answer important questions. At the time, when I decided to burn all of that stuff, it was an obvious provocation to people and I expected to be attacked for doing it. People accused me of trying to get back at my father over our relationship.
Corré left AP two years later, and took a minority stake in the color-cosmetics brand Illamasqua, which was sold to The Hut Group in 2017.
