VIVIENNE WESTWOOD (81)
not a musician but was an intricate part of the British Punk scene.
her business relationship with music-impresario Malcom McLaren was an intricate part of the movement in London.
her 'bondage' style clothing with its zips, leather and chains became as much a part of Punk as the music.
PS (a bit of music trivia) Chrissie Hynde worked in her store until Pretenders' started making decent money.
