Vivienne Westwood

A living legend, the queen of fashion and punk. The first authorized biography of a fashion icon - in full, without exaggeration, without censorship. Down to the core.
"This is my story as it's never been told before!"- Dame of the British Empire Vivienne Westwood
A girl from a poor working-class family born into the grey of a northern English small town. It seems that nothing but a boring job as a regular teacher awaits her. And yet there was a ticking time bomb in this petite blonde that went off with a bang. Together with his eccentric partner Malcolm McLaren, he opens a boutique in London in the early 1970s, which becomes the cradle of a brand new phenomenon called PUNK. There are bikers, light whores, devotees of sadomasochism and fetishism. Vivienne is brimming with crazy ideas that arouse enthusiasm. He rips the clothes into pieces and sews them back together, connects them with chains and fastens them with the now legendary safety pins. He writes provocative or perverse slogans on torn T-shirts, sews models from sacks and erotic outfits from latex.
Rebel music from the Sex Pistols and the New York Dolls blares from the catwalks, and a cultural revolution is born in England. A tomboy, a rebel, a rebel against convention and puritanism, a friend of Naomi Campbell and Sarah Jessica Parker. The world's first female punk, a lady awarded the Order of the British Empire. An environmental activist donating thousands of pounds and endless effort to save the rainforest. A mother of two sons, a grandmother, a tomboy with an unmissable sex appeal even at 70. This is Vivienne Westwood and this is her story.
Today, Vivienne's fashion house has branches all over the world and her ideas are inspired (and readily admit it) by such famous designers as Karl Lagerfeld and Jean Paul Gaultier.
