The iconic 'Pirate' look
Vivienne Westwood (1941-2022) & Malcom McLaren (1946-2010)
AUTUMN/WINTER 1981⁄1982, Pirate Collection
An outfit composed of a matching jacket and trousers of forget-me-not blue cotton sateen woven with scrolling leaves, the trousers are high cut at the back, with loose flies at the front, the jacket sleeves are slashed to reveal black cotton, with a cap-sleeved waistcoat with press stud fastenings (Size 2), together with a yellow cotton Pirate shirt with matching tasselled sash, and a pair of blue and gold squiggle print stockings, and a pair of black silk Pirate pumps with peep-heels, topped off with a burgundy felt bicorne hat with leather rosette and gilt cord and tassels

An icon of post-punk London, the Pirates ensemble that encapsulates Westwood and McLaren's rule-breaking design.
