Book Description
Back in the early 1970s, when the hippie aesthetic still reigned, Vivienne Westwood was already engineering the outre clothes and accessories that would carry the punk movement across England a half-decade later. Today, Westwood continues to play the role of the fashion world's preeminent iconoclast; her collections are at once theatrical, irreverent, and wholly original. This insightful all-color volume vividly documents both the keen intelligence and the exuberant originality of Vivienne Westwood's career and fashion vision.

Vivienne Westwood's iconoclastic career began in 1971, when she and Malcolm McClaren opened Sex, a London boutique selling American rock memorabilia and clothes. Her creative spark ignited the punk and bondage craze. This volume explores Westwood's world of theatricality, irony, and irreverence, where style is often a send-up. 60 illustrations.
