Sex, Seditionaires And A Thirty-Year Legacy

Sex, Seditionaries and a Thirty-Year Legacy was a Byronesque project in collaboration with The Vivienne Foundation held at Machine-A, London, in November 2025. Kang archived the personal costume collection of Joe Corré — son of Vivienne Westwood and Malcolm McLaren, and one of the Directors of The Vivienne Foundation — pieces he designed for a Sex Pistols film, replicating the original Seditionaries designs his parents made iconic. She styled the accompanying campaign in collaboration with Insurgent Global, before hosting a sale at Machine-A, with all proceeds benefiting The Vivienne Foundation.

Alongside the sale, Byronesque produced a filmed interview with Corré in which he traces the full arc of the punk era — from the origins of Sex and Seditionaries through to the rise of Vivienne Westwood as a global brand. Interviewed by Julie Zerbo, fashion lawyer and founder of The Fashion Law, Corré draws on firsthand knowledge to explore the murky business of authentication: what can be verified, what can't, and why that matters. The project brought together archiving, image-making, and the material history of punk in a single gesture.
