- In 1977, Derek Nimmo of the BBC, visits Vivienne Westwood's shop, to learn of the Punk fashion at the time, and kits out wearing some of the clothes from the shop. Featuring members of the Sex Pistols and Jordan.
R.I.P. Vivienne: 8 April 1941 - 29 December 2022
Vivienne Westwood came to public notice 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 synthesise clothing and music shaped the 1970s UK punk scene which was dominated by 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 an increasingly varied range of merchandise, some of which promoted her many political causes such as the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament, climate change and civil rights groups.
love how you can tell how passionate, serious and dedicated Westwood is to what she does

RIP Vivienne, Still can't believe you're gone! Your Seditionaries designs are a staple in my wardrobe and I fell in love with Your spirit,heart & soul years ago..RIP Beautiful Queen 🥺✊️🧷💔
what a delight and so wonderful the good old days, life back then was awful boring in the U.K emerged brilliant artists and bands.
but what's sadder is that nowadays, the all music industry, fashion and movie industry is boring or equally violent or shallow,
no one is talented enough to bring something new, interesting authentic and inventive to the world!
Love how the grannies knew to have a chain from the nose. Nice varied repsonses, the OLD Kings Road, while it was still good fun.
I grew up in the World's End part of the Kings Road and was a punk back at the beginning in 1975. Our first paid gig was in the old Con Club. It's all completely changed. Even the Con Club has become a posh nursery.
The entire area is shit now. Still, I've lived here my entire life and wouldn't have swapped my teens and early 20s with anyones.

the Cons club, I was getting paid in for a short time, generally full of old boozers off the Ashburnham at that time, I used to get dragged out for a drink or two certainly too dull for a Saturday night.
@@SniffMyDeadwax Yeah I know the crowd. Sadly a good few of them have passed on now, though to be honest, it looked like a cemetery in there most nights. Most of those old boozers used to get chased home by fellas with a shovel! New Year's Eve 2006 was the last time I ever set foot in there. Even the 'Bucket of Blood' aka Rileys is long gone now.
@Pete Testube There was a crossover. If you look at a lot of the kids who were soulboys then got into punk but didn't like the shitty clothes, well you'd get a fair few at Billy's then the Blitz Club, Planets, onto Le Beat Route, Club for Heroes penultimately the WAG and the Mud Club until arriving at the Music Machine. So a lot of crossover.
@Pete Testube Hi Pete mate. Absolutely spot correct sir! I well remember those mohair jumpers. I had one in red'n'black stripes. I looked like David Bowie fell into a blender with Dennis the Menace lol As for those jelly sandals with more holes in them than a pirate skiff after it's been shelled to fuck by the US Navy. I once walked 2 1/2 miles from the train station to my girlfriend's house in the poxy snow because the buses had stopped running that day due to a strike. Nothing changes eh? loool My feet were like blocks of ice and I had to sling my white fluffy socks. Remember them? Great times.
respect to the guy that said the music’s alright
R.I.P Vivienne
Great to see all of that, only seen bits of it. Love the shots of the boys (sex pistols) in the shop, that's what punk
Was about having fun & a laugh.
First phase punk the best
1976 - 78 happy days.
I say 1976-1982... maybe a bit later for other folk younger.
The redhead at 2:17 - what a honey! 1977 style, the best!
Both the couple looked like from 10 year later in the 1980s I thought.
What a great clip, and what a good sport Nimmo was to don the gear! So Rudolph Nureyev bought an Anarchy tee and some plastic trousers? Love it! I was a Punk back then, and did visit that infamous shop...it was expensive!!!
Glad you enjoyed it
here in the states early 80's shops like 'SEX' were few and far between and always vey pricey which is why over here DIY was most definitely the norm. in fact when english bands would tour over here we used to sometimes refer to them as "punk rockstars" because they were not only snooty but wore really expensive gear. not all of them of course but enough to be noticeable.
Rip Vivienne 🖤
1:22 Steve's having an existential crisis
went in there when I was 13-via a Iggy Concert at The Rainbow 77-I swear I could smell the Paint or maybe some design going on. It was so small and I dont remember that many T-shirts and other at the side of the shop-Part of History and never forget -I also remember the prices were really High-lol
Rest in Punk Vivienne!
Yeah, it’s cool to see the Pistols behaving so properly for Vivienne’s interview. They clearly respected her for helping to develop their look and punk ethos. Johnny gets a good crack in as well, “You look so bloody boring, I can’t believe it.” 😂
Such a great time 😊
This sounds like a Julian and Sandy sketch from 'Round the Horne'! Lydon's 'Uh Hullo, Mr. Nimmo' - hilarious! Derek Nimmo was a good sport though, fair dos
superb
Hahahaa the kids and the old loves allways spoke their minds and could see the hilarity of it..........
That clothes shop was 30 years ahead of its time. Like an episode of Dr Who and the punk invaders
0:20 Hello Mr Nimmo 🤣
Good footage I'm a big collector
J O R D A N 🙏
Toby Wallace who plays Steve Jones appears at 2:13
"And the last they heard, a donkey had him cornered up a back alley in Fulham!"
Ha ha. Nimmo was a good sport.
This gear was ridiculously expensive then!...
More for upper class kids who wanted to piss daddy off.
Great footage. It's odd that Nimmo resembles Noel Gallagher a bit here. Or vice versa.
Shit just posted that before I read the comments.
Odd hearing little kids say that a man dressed in punk fashion looks stupid, silly, and awful. I’d thought they would’ve been intimidated by it. Suppose it’s just that makeup that detracts.....
FAB.
Rip sid and pamela
And Vivienne, sadly.
Chicago Punk Rock Shop needs Vicious Padlock and Chain Reproduction And Vive Le Rock t-shirt
"Chicago Punk Rock Shop needs Vicious Padlock and Chain" The Great Frog London have an Awesome one that they make..... its where I got mine! ....
I don't know where they got the dodgy cockneys from, we didn't speak like that in Chelsea!
No we came from Hammersmith and Fulham 😜
We did on the World's End Estate.
I bet they speak some sort of werid American accent now in Chelsea.
En el minuto 2:50 sale Tito dé Verano Azul.
*Rotten with obligatory lager*
Brits can be funny sometimes...
Who'S mad?
Derek Nimmo looks like Noel Gallagher but with better fashion.
Jajjaaja no quedó como Sid 🤣🤣🤣
I think the reason is kind of " project-thinking" , no room for creative processes anymore. Everyone too busy making money.
