Round 2: Tossup 14

A book titled for this word has a cover made of Mylar-wrapped aluminum and includes Steven Meisel’s photos of “Mistress Dita.” A group whose name begins with this word had their fashion mimicked by the Bromley Contingent, who frequented a King’s Road store of this name that rebranded as Seditionaries. This word names a mid-70s punk boutique that was run (15[1])by Malcolm McLaren and Vivienne Westwood. The best-selling (*) coffee table book of all time is a 1992 book of this title by Madonna. Prosthetics and mannequins were used for a series of “Pictures” titled for this word by the artist of Untitled Film Stills, Cindy Sherman. This word begins the name of a punk band that released the album Never Mind the Bollocks and included (10[1])Sid Vicious and Johnny Rotten. For 10 points, in that band’s name, what word precedes “Pistols”? ■END■

ANSWER: sex [accept the Sex Pistols] (Malcolm McLaren was also the manager of the Sex Pistols and helped fashion their punk look.)
