The Birth of Punk Rock Fashion<\/h3>\n

Late 1960s London was still swinging with the hippie movement, but, uninspired, Vivienne Westwood<\/a> and boyfriend and manager of the Sex Pistols, Malcolm McLaren turned to edgy biker clothing, zips, rips and leather. Opening up their first shop, ‘Let It Rock’, they appealed to the rebellious set, designing t-shirts with provocative messages and indulging their unwavering stance, inspired by the shock value of punk.<\/p>\n

From these defiant foundations, it almost seems counter-intuitive that Vivienne Westwood\u2019s career would be so enduring and popular. But it is from these rebellious beginnings that her brand grew and developed. Never afraid to innovate and recreate, Westwood\u2019s catwalk shows and collections demonstrate her evolution and creativity.<\/p>\n
