{"product_id":"9781917259491","title":"Vivienne Westwood: Icons of Fashion - Emilie Murray","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis beautifully illustrated book tells the incredible story of Dame Vivienne Westwood a British fashion designer largely responsible for bringing modern punk and new wave fashions into the mainstream. Traditionalist, provocateur, utterly contemporary: Vivienne Westwood was one of British fashion's most famous - and most contradictory - designers. The woman who helped create punk clocked up over four decades on the cutting edge, and produced some of modern style's most recognisable looks.�Westwood came to worldwide attention when she made clothes for the�boutique that she and Malcolm McLaren ran on King's Road, which became�known as Sex. Their ability to synthesize clothing and music shaped the 1970s�UK punk scene, which included McLaren's band, the Sex Pistols. She viewed�punk as a way of \"seeing if one could put a spoke in the system\". Westwood opened four shops in London and eventually expanded throughout Britain and the world, selling a varied range of merchandise, some of which promoted her political causes such as the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament, climate change and civil rights groups.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Emilie Murray","offers":[{"title":"160 pages \/ 12\/05\/2026 \/ Photography \u0026 photographs","offer_id":57110858924407,"sku":"9781917259491","price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/gulpfictionbooks.com\/products\/9781917259491","provider":"Gulp Fiction","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
