About the Designers:
Dame Vivienne Westwood - Legendary English designer, Dame Vivienne Westwood DBE, was largely responsible for modern punk and new wave fashions that began in 1970's London. Her involvement with the punk band, Sex Pistols, and their manager, Malcolm McLaren, brought her controversial designs that included bondage gear fused with more traditional British fabrics like tartans, to the forefront of fashion during that time. Westwood's collection for Nine West will be available in September.
