| Ex school teacher, Punk Rock
clothes shop designer and lover of Pistols svengali
Malcolm McClaren. They both co-owned 'Sex' the Kings Road
fetishist and rubber emporium. Vivienne born in
Derbyshire was classed as slightly off her trolley and
not within grasp of her full faculties, as a lot of these
arty types were/are. She talked incessantly about her
tartan material and made some world famous designs in
muslin ('Destroy' tops etc). She didn't know fuck all
about Punk music and was a fashion guru.
She wasn't shy however at instigating fights like at early Pistols gigs. Could be catty with people she didn't understand. Both Rotten and Cook reckon she copied the formers clothes reproducing them a week later. Probably became the most successful out of all the females in the early punk days. She is now a respected top fashion designer and looks like an arty Maggie Thatcher who rides her bike to fashion shows !!! |
