“Malcolm [McLaren] and I changed the names and décor of the shop to suit the clothes as our ideas evolved,” Westwood said in her 2014 autobiography. Indeed, between 1971 and 1976 the famous shop located at 430 King’s Road in Chelsea, London changed its name multiple times: Let it Rock, Too Fast to Live Too Young to Die, SEX and Seditionaries. Finally, in 1979 the store was named Worlds End, as it is today. ⁣

It all started in 1971 when Trevor Myles rented the back of his store Paradise Garage to Malcolm McLaren, assisted by his friend from art school Patrick Casey and girlfriend and school teacher at the time Vivienne Westwood. They started by selling ‘50s records, posters and memorabilia they had previously collected. ⁣

Soon, in addition to the ‘50s-themed items, Teddy Boy clothing was added for sale, both second-hand and new designs by Vivienne Westwood. The inside of the shop was also furnished in the style of a living room from the ‘50s.
