Vivienne Westwood rose to prominence as a member of the British punk movement in the 1970s and 1980s. In 1971, she began designing clothes for her then-partner and Sex Pistols manager Malcolm McLaren's King's Road boutique; ten years later, she debuted her first collection at London Fashion Week. Today, Westwood's avant-garde designs continue to bring the rebellious spirit of punk to mainstream fashion - strong tailoring, romantic details, and heritage prints are mainstays in her dramatic collections.
