Vivienne Westwood

Vivienne Westwood, Chrissie Hynde and Jordan in 'Sex' on Kings Road, London. 1976

She's the Grande Dame of British fashion, the creator of punk style and a dedicated political activist. There's never a dull moment when Vivienne Westwood's around - and that's without taking into consideration her outfit choices. Never one to play it safe she's championed everything from bondage gear to figleaves and famously went knicker-free to pick up her OBE from the Queen. Take a look at why we can't get enough of Dame Viv's style...
