At the time of this acquisition, Vivienne Westwood is regarded as the doyenne of British fashion. Controversial, acclaimed, eccentric, classic, punk, confronting and essentially British all describe Westwood's work. Opening a shop at 430 King's Road Chelsea, London with then partner Malcolm McClaren in 1971, Westwood sold her own designs through this shop, later called the World's End. Her early work of the 1970s harked back to fifties classic fashion at a time when hippy ideas were dominating fashion. Her work became increasingly associated with and inspired by the punk movement, epitomised by her relationship, through McClaren, with the punk rockers, the Sex Pistols, who first performed in 1976. She became their costume designer. Gene Krell describes Westwood as 'punk's prototype and greatest showpiece.' After punk, her interests became more historical, adapting and reinterpreting materials and designs into her own style.

This t-shirt, purchased by the donor in 1992, commemorates Westwood and McLaren's Kings Road shop which was named 'Sex' between 1974-1976. The interior of the shop was spray painted with pornographic grafitti and stocked with body suits, leather mini skirts, chains, padlocks, fishnets and stilettos. Over the door of the shop was Thomas Fuller's aphorism "Craft must have clothes but Truth loves to go naked'.

I am including the last picture with a similar Westwood t-shirt from the same collection at the Powerhouse museum
