Plot: A profile of Vivienne Westwood is presented using a combination of archive footage, new behind the scenes footage, and interviews with key players including with the subject herself. The profile is shaped partly by Westwood's reluctance to talk about certain aspects of her life, most noticeably her connection to her one-time personal and professional partner Malcolm McLaren and their combined connection to the Sex Pistols, who McLaren formed and managed. Much of the profile is centered on how her three primary personal relationships affected what would be for what she would be most renowned, a fashion designer.
