Riassunto

Clothes for Heroes: The Punk Fashions of Vivienne Westwood and Malcolm McLaren is a visual history of the 1970s fashion revolution that was born out of a small London boutique at 430 King’s Road. Vivienne Westwood and Malcolm McLaren not only dressed the Sex Pistols, but also pioneered the confrontational, taboo-busting punk aesthetic that continues to inspire designers to this day. From T-shirts adorned with rubber to bondage trousers and clothes made of muslin, their designs were meant to shock. The author has amassed what is perhaps the world’s largest and most significant collection of clothing from the shop’s history, much of which has never appeared in print. The book, housed in a striking slipcase, features stunning images of the clothing and rare photos of the 1970s punk scene, accompanied by interviews and commentary from those who were there.
