Hell Bunny is an alternative clothing brand which has been around since 2004. Starting out with designs in the Goth and punk styles, the brand has developed over the last decade and has now become known for a variety of alternative street styles, including Emo, Lolita and more recently, Rockabilly / 50s rock 'n' roll designs.

Hell Bunny offers various garments - dresses, skirts, tops, corsets, and also accessories such as belts and bags. Sizes range from size 8 to 20 (UK) and garments and made from high quality materials and offered at extremely reasonable prices. Hell Bunny products can be bought from various retail outlets in the UK and there is a growing number of online resources now offering the Hell Bunny brand.

Along with Rock 'n' Roll music, the 50s brought changes in fashion that made young women look more youthful and less like a housewife than their 40s predecessors. British styles began to follow the influences of designers such as Christian Dior.

Instead of being just practical garments, fashions started to become more feminine and showy than they were before and during the war. Waistlines were smaller and defined, skirts were flowing and made abundant use of material which was no longer rationed and restricted.

The full A line skirts were complimented with brightly coloured patterns to make for glamourous, movie style gowns that could now be bought on the High Street to make girls feel like a million dollars.
