A British designer who is essentially responsible for introducing Punk and New Wave in to the fashion mainstream in the 1970’s. Her style is a mix of punk fused with traditional Scottish elements and 17th – 18th century garment cutting principals; collections of historical beauties that rebel with a slight rascal. Mclauren, her former lover and business partner, opened a boutique originally called “Let it Rock” which was later changed to “Sex” in 1971. He later became the manager of the band The Sex Pistols and they wore Westwood and Mclauren’s designs. Their designs were interpretations and inspired by bikers, fetish and prostitutes; bicycle chains, spiked dog collars, rips, safety pined inventions. Today Westwood has her own successful brand, punk inspired, romantic tailoring and stylised corsetry Haute Couture and ready-to-wear collections as well as many independent stores and online boutiques.
