Vivienne Westwood is an English fashion designer and businesswoman, who is essential for bringing modern punk and new wave fashions into the mainstream.
Westwood came to be known by the public when she made clothes for Malcolm McLaren's boutique. She became noticed because she had the ability to fuse the clothing and the music in the 7o’s punk style. At that time, she was largely inspired by the shock-value of punk and wanted to see whether someone could have a say in that system.
Deeply interested in the punk fashion, Westwood designed her own style of clothing and jewelry. The essential design elements include the adoption of traditional elements of Scottish design such as tartan fabric. She is outstanding in the clothing design. And the main reason lies on her use of these traditional elements make the overall effect of her designs more shocking.
The artistic influence of Vivienne Westwood on the punk clothing is enormous. With her effervescent taste for fashion, Vivienne Westwood set a path for a whole new generation of fashion rebels. Her inspired creative freedom, allegorical collections and fusions of historical and ethnic dress and cut had a huge influence on the fashion in the punk clothing.
