Description

Vivienne Westwood spent more than five decades breaking the rules and pushing the envelope of the fashion world. Renowned for her rebellious spirit and avant-garde designs, Westwood lived a life dedicated to a free artistic expression that continues to redefine fashion and inspire generations worldwide. She gifted us countless iconic moments and designs, from her days at the Kings Road ‘SEX’ shop and wearing no knickers to receive her OBE from the Queen, to her trailblazing 90s runway collections and her tireless pursuit of social and climate justice.

Beginning with her working-class upbringing and traversing through the McLaren years, her contributions to early punk culture, her most iconic collections and her activism, amongst more, Vivienne Westwood is a new illustrated guide to a true one-of-a-kind.
