No. 4 is Vivienne Isabel Swire. Doesn’t ring a bell? Her designer name is Westwood.Vivienne Westwood.This credited British designer who treated “the underwear as outerwear”, is considered the inventor of punk.
Much of her work is rooted in English tailoring and, using traditional techniques as a starting point, she has devised innovative solutions to the puzzle-like complexities of cutting and piercing fabric. Her designs show the bold, the fearless unconformity with a sense of tradition. She is renowned for her use of very British fabrics such as Harris tweed and tartan, her re-use of historic garments such as the corset and crinoline.
Westwood saw a kind of loveliness in this forbidden clothing: 'All the clothes I wore people would regard as shocking, I wore them because I just thought that I looked like a princess from another planet.'

For her Café Society collection Westwood featured evening dresses too vast to be shown on a normal runway. These extravagant, rustling silk gowns empower the wearer by their sheer volume and extravagance. The Ballgown and other examples of creative fashion photography see below.

Interesting: Westwood and Malcolm McLaren former art student, future manager of the Sex Pistols, arrive on the London fashion scene, and together they create a store called “Let it rock”, later on renamed “ Sex”. From this moment on she felt a real connection to her passion, designing.
Vivienne’s oldest son, Ben, is a porn photographer; and her second son, Joe, is co-founder of Agent Provocateur.
