Malcolm McLaren was a promoter, an anarchist, and the man who brought punk to the forefront of mainstream culture.
He was partners with the great Vivienne Westwood in the infamous boutique at London’s 430 Kings Road, London.
The boutique would undergo several transformations under the watchful eye of McLaren, but originally it was named Let It Rock, selling the rockabilly aesthetic of drape jackets, drainpipe trousers and brothel creeper shoes - a style popularised by the Teddy Boy subculture at the time.
By 1973 the store had been renamed - Too Fast To Live Too Young To Die - and shifted from rockabilly to the greaser fashions popularised in the 1950s.
McLaren was proving himself a shrewd promoter: each directional change drove the boutique to greater heights of success. But it wasn’t until 1974 that McLaren injected his personal mantra of dysfunction into the store and cemented his legacy as the man who brought punk to the masses.
The origins of the punk rock movement began in New York. McLaren and Westwood had been making periodic trips there since the early 1970s, exhibiting their clothes and strengthening their connection to the New York underground.
McLaren in particular had become fascinated with the anarchistic principles and radical fashion of the protopunk movement, forming relationships with trailblazing bands like the New York Dolls and Richard Hell of Television.
In the spring of 1974 he brought punk rock back to the UK, rebranding the boutique SEX and stocking the store with the bondage gear and socially provocative garments that would eventually become synonymous with punk culture.
Shortly after the inception of SEX, McLaren returned to the United States. It was there he met with New York Dolls guitarist Sylvain Sylvain and agreed to become their personal manager.
Together they conspired on a new direction for the band, one that adopted the shock tactics of Communism: outfits inspired by the Maoist Red Guard and a host of socialist propaganda littering the stage.
Like so much of what McLaren did, the new look was designed to spark outrage. Instead, it simply caused confusion. The directional change proved the final nail in the coffin for the outfit and they disbanded not long after.
Undeterred by his failure at the helm of the Dolls, McLaren returned home with the goal of starting a new band: one he could use as “mannequins” to sell the fashion of punk.
And so The Sex Pistols were born.

To the casual outsider the Fashion Industry can appear to be a cauldron of creativity with endless innovation and risk taking, as every new season designers have to forget their past successes and milestones and return alone to a blank canvas, to create their next collection, and this cycle repeats itself every 6 months. Granted there are principles, codes, legends and motifs that inform a designer’s agency, but essentially it’s starting over.
Even if you hold only the most casual interest in the world of fashion, it’s hard to deny the fascinating life stories of every person we have chosen to showcase in this Series.

MALCOLM MCLAREN - Розваги
ridiculous to say Malcolm went into some kind of oblivion post punk - not just Duck Rock but his opera record and Paris ones were ground breaking, his other artworks, and even stood for London mayor....a true artist and gentleman
Without the Sex Pistols, Punk and McLaren/Westwood my youth would have been completely different from what it was and honestly, i am thankful for that.
If it were not for Lou Reed, The New York Dolls, Patti Smith, Television, Richard Hell, or The Ramones; No one would have heard of McClaren.
HA! All those old folks you've mentioned (with the exception of Mrs Smith) loved Mr.Malcolm & his clothes to death!
I thought malcolm mclaren stole from Richard?
Malcolm was a lot more cluey than he ever let on, after all he became famous in his own right, so who is anyone to think they have the right to put him down. He knew how to “work the room”.
what a monster, and I mean that in the nicest possible way
Lyndon??? LYDON, LYDON, LYDON...ffs! Wow this is a brilliant upload though 👏
A lot of people get it ,,I’m like LYDON F F S
What are you talking about? John Lyndon was the singer for that band with Steve Jams, Paul Crack and Ben Matlock.
@@marklechman2225 what are you talking about? It's not Lyndon... its John Lydon, check your facts and look it up.
@@billymkirkwood4956not too swift are we?
@@billymkirkwood4956 They were managed by Talcum MacDonald.
This was actually fantastic!! Literally didn't know half of the stuff that was shown through this. That final outro sentence was chilling! Please keep doing what you're doing, going to watch the rest of the series after the Japan History broadcast :D
He was a brilliant human
20:58 It wasn't Lydon who gave the famous verbal to Grundy. It was Steve Jones .
*well, admittedly Lydon did sheepishly repeat 'shit' to Grundy, but Steve did begin the swearing with, "we fucking spent it ..."*
@@sexobscura It was Steve jones who coated Grundy off, and it was that verbal which gave the press interest in the group.
Team effort
It's a bit unfortunate that the narrator here calls John Lydon "Lyndon". But any Malcolm content is better than none. He was a national treasure and, if anything, his contribution to the Sex Pistols and the partnership with Westwood has been underrated.
Like the manipulation of the scene for his own gain?
@@denine5232 Every businessman manipulates for their own gain,otherwise they get poor instead of rich,that`s how life works.
Nice work to put this together.
Always glad to see exposure of this genre.
We know this peak was 75-76, and all after that is imitation. A few nice shots of Vivienne.
Nice how you credited the sources of images.
I would have preferred not to see the dramatization video shots ie. 2:49, all throughout (but that is me).
I started and made a Punk PT1 doc, and need to do more exposure in PT2 with Malcolm and why he did what he did, his deeper philosophy.
RIP Sylvain & Malcolm & Jordan.
R I P TO THE HIP HOP and BALLROOM PIONEER HIMSELF 1980s DEEP IN VOGUE MALCOLM MCLAREN TRUE BALLROOM HISTORY FOREVER
I think his so-called genius or just talent really is that he was always in a state of a assimilation.
IMO Malcolm was a very clever guy.
more than d
MALCOLM was born a JANUARY 22th like ME !
I must have missed this Linden fella lol. Great doc though
Bow wow wow top band .
British Punk 70's the Best.
It was Jones who "verbally abused" the host, not Rotten, Rotten said a rude word but respectfully tried to move on as he realised he slipped up.
McLaren was just a footnote at the career of Lydon
Indeed, John Lydon is the man. Mc Laren is a creepy sod.
Weird how McLaren never got done for putting a naked 14yo girl in film/inside cover of the Swindle record making her look like be Sue Catwoman, then that Bow Wow Wow stuff.
Remember the Led Zeppelin album a few years before? I think part of it was kids weren't so sexualised in the public's mind back then, & a pornographified world view hadn't become so universal. But it was from the Julien Temple movie, so I don't know whose responsibility it was, why, or what the intention was. Did either ever say?
@@jonahwhale9047 Vivienne Westwwood and McLaren put naked boys on t-shirts years before the film,it was nothing new for them or us,they liked the publicity and outrage it brought,same as the swastikas and inverted crucifixes.
WOW
Huge missed opportunity here. Instead of the tired and rehashed story about 1977, this doc could’ve explored MM’s solo work work in the 80s. I enjoyed this none the less.
We made a whole other film just on that. You should search for it on FIB Channel
@@Fashionindustrybroadcast I stand corrected. That film deserves more attention. I will give it a proper viewing this weekend. Thanks.
@@joeybaddour ""nonetheless""...one word not three.
Very entertaining video, lots of stuff I haven’t seen before. However, what are we to believe when the narrator gets the name of the lead singer wrong? That is not a small mistake to make. Thoroughly enjoyed it though.
Was done to see who was watching.
I found the sex pistols fascinating. Before sex, punk or pistols
This is truly wonderful tho Fashion Industry Broadcast
Thanks Billy please subscribe and share it with your friends. Much love x
The host abused the sex pistols!
What was the record at 12:54 ?
Brilliant ❤
Did she just say "LyNdon??" 😳
She was bashing the Sex Pistols and did not know what she was talking about.
Lydon is the real deal and a real caring person. McLaren was a person void of emotion and creative talent and a real champagne socialist.
@@cleopatra1633 of course. The narrator of this piece said "Lyndon." They need a new copy editor.
Oh , that crazy times !!!!
Would be return !
That IS the Life . Noise and noise .
If not , for what we live !!
Devil save the Queen !
Glad someone remembered that "noise and noise"
Buzzcocks. Wasn't it ?
I had a hand made screen printed t-shirt by Vivian and handwritten letter of provenance from her (500 words) It was the Notting Hill riots artwork from the album The Clash. Hung up in my wardrobe in a plastic suit cover. Went to get it and it was gone. Stolen! Art crime. Fashion criminals had broken in. Sid had been sent to retrieve it. A jealous associate or girlfriend took it. No. Mummy said she threw it in the bin because I hadn't worn it for ages and I had grown out that punk thing, N/B she also binned my X police shirt with the clash artwork on it bought at SEX Kings Road, my leather jacket with GSTQ stencilled on the back (stencil from virgin records) today they would be worth £1000s for a clothes collectors, all originals form 76-77,
Ha! My mum did that with my crass posters. She said they were obscene…..
Such a cool story, thanks for sharing my brother x
Wow, i dont agree with all the ideologies of the Sex Pistols or their creators, people around them, etc. But they definitely are one of my favorite bands bc they are so fucking INTERESTING. All of them are really crazy and had really crazy lifes living on the edge... i love punk aesthetic tho. I enjoyed this so much, thanks!!!
Thanks Valentina x
I believe in wealth distribution for the simple fact that all humans are the same an deserve the same privileges regardless of their station or family wealth,, passing wealth within families should be abolished!
@@downallyourstreets Yes, but who will be the incredibly honest person distributing that money? Thats the problem
@@downallyourstreets "We must do away with the
absolutely specious notion that
everybody has to earn a living.
It is a fact today that one in ten
thousand of us can make a technological
breakthrough capable of supporting all the rest. The
youth of today are absolutely right in recognizing
this nonsense of earning a living. We keep inventing
jobs because of this false idea that everybody has to
be employed at some kind of drudgery because,
according to Malthusian- Darwinian theory, he must
justify his right to exist. So we have inspectors of
inspectors & people making instruments for
inspectors to inspect inspectors. The true business
of people should be to go back to school & think
about whatever it was they were thinking about
before somebody came along & told them they had
to earn a living."
Richard Buckminster Fuller (1895 - 1983)
@@davidwhite4874 Before I got tho the last line of that containing the date it was said I already knew it was a quote from decades ago because most of the "the
youth of today" are now too bloody stupid and lazy and self-obsessed to earn a living doing anything of any consequence..
What happened in NYC was not punk. but protopunk.
Mclaren is the core of the punk movement...stepping on everyone for his art vision
Rubbish
Always thought he was Gay.
Subtitulos in spanish?
Lyndon?
Yeah Barrie Lyndon
big father
would have made better London Mayor and then Prime Minister than what we have... and will have.....RIP Malcolm ...
McLaren and lydon deserve each other.
Lydon, malleable? HAHAHAHAHAHA. Bollocks.
Great, you (the "girls voice") managed to deliver the most bias and arrogant attack on Malcom McLaren, and what the hell have you achieved Annalisa Piccio (who?)
14 👀👀👀🤣🤣🤣🤣he said John was a mummy’s boy 🤣🤣🤣
Lydon loved his family and friends and is a sweet creative and good man until this day. He just lost his wife that he took care of for years. McLaren was a creep without any real emotions and talent.
*They wear vampire makeup*
Maybe try getting the singers name right..... Its LYDON not LYNDon
Absolutely we'll said 👏 👍
I couldn’t believe that stupid slip.
It's also malcom not Malcolm.
Why do Jews always have a sob sob BS story for their evil actions, BDS israel FREE PALESTINE 🇵🇸
Young Joe💔
Nepo crybaby!🔥
41:01
gawd these avatars on these videos now
@@layditms2 me?
He was no different then Kim Fowley..
The difference is fowley abused underage girls.
Except Talcy Malcy wasn`t a rapist and created something memorable.
Hes the nastiest Pistol right?
McLaren didn't invent punk. He mainstreamed it.
No, he just monetized it.
@@GCNavigator Same thing.
beards didn't either
RIP Vivienne Westwood.
What makes you think she’s dead?
she is still here 🤣🤣🤣🤣👀👀👀
@@josmith2031 RIP Vivienne Westwood
I can tell he is lieing. It's obvious. It's more drama then anything. Exaggeration to. He believes himself.
🤣🤣🤣🤡🤡 No he's telling the truth what he believed was all the stuff he said about the Pistols & himself
