Vivienne Westwood: Fashion Designer

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.

5th Element: Fashion Show

I enjoyed watching the futuristic movie 5th element. I particularly enjoyed the fashion that was shown in the movie. I thought it was minimalistic but very futuristic. Leeloo had few outfits but the ones she wore were incredible and vibrant. I also really liked Zorg’s outfit, it showed men’s work wear but also had a shiny green color that made it different than what we see today especially on men. This is what inspired me for my fashion outfit. I wanted to use menswear and reconstruct it into a women’s look and repurpose items like a tie. I went to the thrift store not having an exact idea of what I was doing and I came across 2 gorgeous purple stri[ped men’s button downs, one specifically that had a green tint to it which made it unique. I then found a large lavender skirt that I cut up to make floating sleeves. I found a children’s vest that I would have my model fit into and wear. I found a lavender fur scarf that would be cut and glued around the trim of the vest. I also bought a p...

Ready Player One notes

I really enjoyed the movie, my group decided to use Minecraft to interview a stranger. I asked the stranger what he wears in the game vs what he wear in real life. He said we wears armor in the game and shorts and a t shirt in real life. I thought it was important to ask him what he wears because in Ready Player one, Wyatt wore nice clothes and wore things based on how he wanted to appear to other in the game even if he could not wear these clothes in real life. The second question I asked was what his hobbies/job was in the game vs real life. He said that his character in the game builds houses and breeds villagers but in real life he works in a car dealership. This is very different and it depends on the game but clearly he does this as a hobby in the game but would not necessarily chose to do it in real life. This relates to my health science major because I believe video games like this are a source of relaxation and people go on th...
