Dame Vivienne Westwood passed away at the age of 81, leaving not just a legacy behind, but her beloved family.
The British fashion designer was a vital player in the punk movement and spent her career pushing boundaries with her provocative designs.
Vivienne died "peacefully" and "surrounded by her family" in Clapham, South London, according to a statement.
Ever the creative, Westwood continued to do all the things that she loved "right up until the last moment".
In her last days she was still designing, working on her book and making art.
Her team also wrote in the statement: "The world needs people like Vivienne to make a change for the better."
She was a fierce activist and over the years pulled off many protests and stunts to raise awareness of the climate crisis.
In 2015 she drove a tank to David Cameron's home in Oxfordshire whilst he was prime minister to protest against fracking.
She also lobbied against the British government to ban the sale of fur.
Tributes for the designer have been pouring in from the likes of Victoria Beckham, Marc Jacobs and Boy George.
But who is one of Britain's most loved designers leaving behind to carry on her legacy?
Second marriage to Andreas Kronthaler
Vivienne's second husband and creative partner, 56-year-old Andreas said that his beloved wife has left him "lots to do".
The Austrian designer paid a sweet tribute to the icon, who he married in 1992.
“I will continue with Vivienne in my heart. We have been working until the end and she has given me plenty of things to get on with. Thank you darling,” he said after her passing.
He was a former student of hers and 25 years younger, which naturally raised a few eyebrows.
Kronthaler soon became creative director of her company and became increasingly more involved in her design work in later years.
First husband Derek Westwood
Vivienne met Derek, who worked as a hoover factory apprentice in 1962.
She was working as a primary school teacher at the time.
They got married in July of that year, and Vivienne made her own wedding dress.
A year later they had their son Benjamin together.
She divorced Derek in 1965
In 2012 The Evening Standard said that Derek was a retired commercial airline pilot who lived in Leicestershire.
Business with Malcolm McLaren
Vivienne and Malcolm set up a clothing shop Let It Rock on King's Road in Chelsea.
The business was later renamed Sex and McLaren, and began managing a punk band made up of regulars from the shop.
That band was none other than the Sex Pistols.
They shot to fame in 1976 wearing many of Westwood and McLaren's designs.
He and Vivienne share their son Joseph Corre, who is the founder of lingerie brand Agent Provocateur.
In her memoir she detailed how she never really wanted to be with Malcolm.
"I didn’t want him for my boyfriend. He didn’t look after himself. And I started trying to cook for him a bit and stuff like that.
She later went on to say that he was emotionally and physically abusive to her during their relationship.
"Because he's dead, I don't mind saying this: he behaved incredibly cruelly. Professionally, personally, in every way."
"He had this thing where he couldn't leave the flat until he made me cry. He wanted to feel bad or something - he was trying to draw blood," she continued.
Malcolm died aged 64 in Switzerland after battling cancer.
Benjamin Westwood
Ben grew up in Clapham and started working as a photographer of erotica when he was 28 years old.
He then went on to follow in his mothers footsteps and forged a career in fashion.
His first collection was called "outdoor woodsman, Red Indian, cowboy."
He told Evening Standard: "My inspiration is tribal culture, Red Indians and pirates.
"We had a lot of that in our childhood. My mother always liked films about Red Indians."
Son Joe Corré
Joe was born in 1967 and was given the surname Corré, which derived from his dad' maternal grandmother, a Sephardic Jew from Portugal.
He has 30 Agent Provocateaur shops in 14 different countries and was awarded MBE for his services to the fashion industry, which he rejected.
Joe, the son of Vivienne and Malcolm, burned a collection of punk memorabilia valued at more than £5million.
Wearing a top hat, cravat and frock coat, Corré set fire to the priceless items as he delivered a speech to politicians.
He pulled his protest off on a borrowed barged moored off the Chelsea embankment of the River Thames on the 40th anniversary of the release of "Anarchy in the U.K.".
Early outfits made by his mother, original recordings by the Sex Pistols, Johnny Rotten's bondage pants all went up in flames.

His mum was part of the protest, as she leaned out the back window of a double-decker bus and urged passers by to switch energy suppliers to those who use renewable power.
When he was asked by a reporter from The Sunday Telegraph if he "felt like burning a Picasso," Corré replied: "I don’t know what burning a Picasso feels like, but I thought that was great.
"Punk rock is not important. Punk has become another marketing tool to sell you something you don't need.”
