Vivienne Westwood has opened at Ion Orchard.

Dame Vivienne Westwood is an English fashion designer and businesswoman, largely responsible for bringing modern punk and new wave fashions into the mainstream.

Westwood came to public notice when she made clothes for Malcolm McLaren's boutique in the King's Road. It was their ability to synthesize clothing and music that shaped the 70s punk scene, dominated by McLaren's band, The Sex Pistols.

Today, Westwood’s global empire comprises the semi-couture line Gold Label, a ready-to-wear line Red Label, Vivienne Westwood Man and the diffusion line Anglomania. She has perfumes, Boudoir and Libertine, as well as successful ranges of knitwear and accessories.

British Designer of the Year twice, in 1990 and 1991, honoured with the Order of the British Empire in 1992 and made Dame Vivienne Westwood in 2006, she has drawn uncommonly wide acclaim from the extremes of the street and the establishment. Westwood continues to sustain the ultimate design contradiction: producing the unexpected while defining the spirit of the decade.
