SPECIAL GUEST:
Tonight’s screening of the remarkable documentary about Vivienne Westwood's life will be followed by a Q&A with Jordan Mooney, one of punk’s most-fetishised poster women. Jordan’s pivotal role at the hub of Vivienne Westwood and Malcolm McLaren’s riotous (Sex and Seditionaries era) world was vital to the looks of bands like the Sex Pistols and Adam and the Ants. Mooney will reflect upon her experiences of working with Westwood and McClaren, acting for Derek Jarman and generally living a life of breaking the rules.
