Fashion Style You

Dame Vivienne Westwood was born in the village of Tintwistle in Glossop, Derbyshire, on 8 April 1941. She is an english fashion designer largely responsible for modern punk and new wave fashions.

Westwood and Malcolm McLaren the manager for the punk band The Sex Pistols decided to open a shop, Let It Rock (also known as Sex, Too Fast To Live Too Young To Die, Seditionaries) where Westwood began to sell her outrageous designs.

Success came when when the Sex Pistols wore clothes from Westwood and McLaren’s shop at their first gig. The clothes included bondage gear, safety pins, razor blades, bicycle or lavatory chains on clothing and spiked dog collars.

Westwood has had many varying collections including themes such as gold and treasure, adventure and exploration, and tartan.

She has spent much of 2007 designing new graduation gowns for King’s College London, which will be conferring its own degrees for the first time in summer 2008.
