Vivienne Westwood was born in 1941 in England. Her family were regular working class people who just made ends meet. Surprisingly enough, she knew nothing about fashion or art growing up. She enrolled into college to become a school teacher. On the side, Vivienne worked in a factory to make ends meet. She married, had a son and was living the most ordinary life as a civilian. However, her first marriage did not last long and she became divorced. The catalyst to Vivienne becoming the fashion designer known all over the world today was her second husband, Malcom McLaren. At the time, he was just an art student, but soon he would change Vivienne's life.
