Her punk-inspired brand doubled its assets to £60million, with seven in ten sales of her dresses, shoes and bags being made in the UK.

The brand’s second biggest market was Italy, worth nearly £15m.

Climate activist Vivienne, who employed 281 staff, died on December 29 in 2022 aged 81.

Two weeks earlier she appointed pal and design chief Jeff Banks, 80, co-director of her firm.

Dame Vivienne was famed for her new-wave style in the 1970s and dressed the world’s biggest celebrities.

She started with just one design desk inside Sex Pistol’s manager Malcolm McLaren’s central London fashion store, which came to be known as SEX.

Her brand expanded around the world to open flagship stores in the UK, France, Italy, America and Asia.

She also worked with Richard Branson to design uniforms for Virgin Atlantic aircrew and dressed royals including Princess Eugenie.
