By the 1971, she knew Malcolm of The Sex Pistols musicians and he leads her to London’s underground scene. The Sex Pistols was a famous punk bank in the 1970s. Vivienne design the punk dress for Malcolm’s band. She would become the seamstress of the new emerging Punk movement by the introduction of her early designs.

It can along at the same time as new urban art scene was sweeping

Honestly, I dont know much about PUNK and Vivenne Westood, but it is awesome to know what she has done to PUNK. all the thing she has created in 1970s is still looked so fashionable.
Nowadays, when people talk about PUNK, they dont just talk about music things but also talk about the way Punkers clothing, cosmetics and hairstyles. It is no doubt that Ms Westood change the imagination of PUNK successfully from the band style to fashion matters.
