We discuss the incredible life of Malcolm McLaren, the (mis)manager of the Sex Pistols, the enabler and partner of Vivienne Westwood, and an all around agent of creative chaos, with Paul Gorman, the author of the new biography The Life and Times of Malcolm McLaren. Find out about punk rock and punk style, McLaren and Westwood’s series of legendary shops at 430 Kings Road, where the iconic Tits shirt came from, which famous fashion designers went to the first Sex Pistols concert in London, and much more.
