Vivienne Westwood has been at the epicentre of British fashion since she began selling her punk-inspired designs in Malcom McLaren’s influential Kings Road store, Sex, in the 1970s. The Dame of the British Empire revolutionized what is deemed appropriate to wear in public. Indeed, it was she who first introduced bondage trousers and other aspects of BDSM, along with safety pins and chains to the fashion mainstream. Her use of 17th and 18th century cutting techniques, especially the radical cutting lines she developed for men’s trousers, continue to be used and emulated today. Her work is politically charged and has run synonymous with the social changes of the last 50 years. This asymmetric cut, drop shoulder dress is a sublimation all over dye of a baroque salon on cotton fabric. Her work uses historic symbols of English antiquity as leverage to push towards the counter culture’s revolt against those power structures.
