Description

Reading Vivienne's thoughts, in her own words, is as fascinating and provocative as you would expect from Britain's punk dame - a woman who always says exactly what she believes. Not only was Vivienne Westwood a punk icon and fashion inventor, she was also an activist for climate change and a major supporter and friend of Julian Assange. Get a Lifeis a fresh, unpredictable look at the life of one of the most influential artists and campaigners of our times. While it's not a comprehensive biography--we have Ian Kelly to thank for that--it is as close as we can get to the inner workings of her mind. remarked many times by Lee and John as the the one who introduced punk to fashion in the 70's and 80's.

Fashion designer, political activist, national icon: Vivienne Westwood sets down her unique vision of the world in her blog, Get A Life. What we have here then is a story of the last six years of Climate Revolution and the journey that got us there. I find her fascinating and whilst I don't always agree with her and can't see the point she is trying to make on many occasions; I was still looking forward to reading her 'diary'. To be so full of energy and life at her age - and to rally against what you believe is detrimental to the future - environmental, creative and judicious. Her career has successfully spanned five decades and her work has influenced millions across the world.Dame Vivienne Westwood is one of the icons of our age: fashion designer, activist, co-creator of punk, global brand and grandmother. I decided to donate some money to the Green party, but now they are thinking of giving it back, having discovered I have a Luxembourg company that minimises my tax liabilities. Vivienne does not talk about Fashion as long as it's not connected to her second (if not first) love in her life which is climate revolution and politics. hungry to learn more I planned to dive one era backwards to understand different inspirations and fashion world back then. Since then, she has written two or three entries each month, discussing her life in fashion and her involvement with art, politics and the environment.

I need to admit I learned many things about topics which should be very close and important for all of us.And, to clarify, nothing she says is of the hateful manner, so it's the little things like what does art really mean? Dame Vivienne Westwood, DBE, RDI (born Vivienne Isabel Swire) was a British fashion designer largely responsible for bringing modern punk and new wave fashions into the mainstream. Find your next must-read with the Serpent’s Tail newsletter and discover gripping crime and mystery from Viper Books. Her thinking on culture and the importance of engaging with the world to develop culture (not consumption) was very clear and inspiring.

At last, I wanted to cry out, a celebrity who recognizes that politicians only care about themselves and who cares about the earth and who will actually do things about the things she cares about. This online magazine fuses the best high-end, progressive and luxury brands as well as independent designers. Sometimes u may feel that her diaries are very hectic hence even more I'm proud of myself to get to the end of it and not dropping earlier.

Westwood advanced from OBE to DBE in the 2006 New Year's Honours List for services to fashion,and had thrice earned the award for British Designer of the Year. In 1992, Westwood was awarded an OBE, which she collected from Queen Elizabeth II at Buckingham Palace. Very motivating read, to Vivennes's way of thinking and the time she devotes for environmental causes. Then again, Vivienne might be hanging out with her friend Pamela Anderson, or in India for Naomi Campbell's birthday party, or watching Black Sabbath in Hyde Park with Sharon Osbourne. Spanning six years of Climate Revolution, fashion and activism, the book is as provocative as you would expect from Britain’s punk dame.
