Vivienne Westwood -- From bringing British punk fashion into the mainstream in the 1970s to her political activism and climate action, Vivienne Westwood’s legacy is set to be influential for many generations to come. The different fashion movements that characterised her career can be clearly divided between 4 different periods: the Punk era in the 70s, the Pagan years in the 80s, Anglomania in the 90s, and the era of social and political activism from the 2000s up to the present day. 1971-1980: the Punk era In 1965, Westwood met Malcolm McLaren – leader of “The Sex Pistols” band, and started pursuing a career in fashion together. In 1971, they opened their boutique 430 Kings Road in London, which quickly became the fashion center of the punk movement, filled with Westwood’s designs that dressed The Sex Pistols band. The store changed its name 5 times between 1971 and 1980 to coincide with the collections’ releases: Let it Rock, Too Fast to Live Too Young to Die, Sex and Seditionaries (the latter was renamed in 1977, just as Sex Pistols’s “God Save The Queen” went to number one on the NME chart.) Finally, it was renamed “The Worlds End” in 1980, a title the store still holds today. VW accessories embody the rebellious spirit the designer championed. Each piece carries the boldness and heritage of Westwood's tartan-infused designs, echoing her love for Scottish cloth. With vibrant tartan patterns like the iconic Bruce of Kinnaird & MacAndreas, these accessories capture the essence of a fashion icon's legacy.
