Can you please find appropriate synonyms because I can't think of any.
Thanks lot.

1) Vivienne Westwood has been labeled as the designers’ designer.
In the 1970s she opened a shop in London that became the focus of the punk movement.
2) The shop started out in life (I need a synonym) named “Let it Rock” but soon metamorphosed (?) into other different names.
3) She gained international recognition in the early 80s. Her design combines unconformity with a strong sense of the traditional.
4) She uses very British fabrics such as tweed and tartan though her style has always been practical. Her first career (synonym?) was a primary school teacher.
5) Most of Coco Chanel’s fashions had staying power (synonym) and changed little over years.
6) She caused somewhat of (synonym) of a scandal by having love affairs with wealthy men, two of whom were instrumental in first setting up her business.
7) What really set tongues wagging was her affair with a Nazi officer in World War II. This lead to an exile of sorts (synonym) in Switzerland after the war ended but she soon returned to Paris and once more became the darling (synonym) of society women.
