When Vivienne Westwood took to the catwalk last week in hotpants and a scribbled on monocle and moustache at the age of 71, she was carrying the flame for Punk. Despite the DBE, Dame Viv is a dependable irreverant. A sole fan pumping fresh air into the stultifying culture that pervades in the shape of One Direction, the X Factor. and Tory MPs calling us all Plebs.

For the rest of us, a little bit of anarchy could probably go a long way. So if you’re looking for some inspiration, the Hayward Gallery’s exhibition Some Day All The Adults Will Die! Punk Graphics is a good starting point. Accompanying the exhibition is Jon Savage and Johan Kugelberg’s new book Punk: An Aesthetic, the very title underlines what it was all about. If you’re going to start a riot, you’re best to do it in style.
