Vivienne Westwood Pirate Collection Top, Fall/Winter 1981

Bringing anarchy to high fashion, Vivienne Westwood and Malcolm McLaren made their runway debut in 1981 with the Pirate collection. Westwood was inspired by 18th century painting and the "plundering of ideas and colors from other places and times," from which the collection earned its name. From it developed the New Romantic look, the hallmark style of club culture in 1980s London.
