Vivienne Westwood is an English self-made designer who started her career in London. She partnered with Malcom McLaren and opened up a boutique. This store consisted of graphic t-shirts with provocative slogans and pictures, this completely went against the times with the hippie movement in the 1970s. Malcom and Vivienne kept rebelling with more crazy designs and put their punk rock edge into everything they did. Vivienne Westwood eventually made her own name and separated from Malcom. She continued to produce clothing and accessories that had a punk rock feel to it and became insanely successful. She is now 71 years old and still making an impact. She uses high proportions of sustainable and recycled material in her projects. She is an advocate for climate change and political issues and uses her platform for the great good. I think she is insanely impactful and full of creative out of the box ideas that the world needs to see and hear. Below are some of my favorite pieces.
