- Vivienne Westwood began designing in 1971 along with her partner Malcolm McLaren when London was at the forefront of cultural trends. In 1984 she launched her own fashion line and in 2004 the V&A hosted a Vivienne Westwood retrospective exhibition to celebrate her 34 years in fashion - the largest exhibition ever devoted to a living British fashion designer.
As well as being a World renowned fashion designer Vivienne Westwood is also an activist for environmental, political and human rights campaigns, and uses the medium of her shows to talk about culture and politics, more specifically about the urgent need to act against climate change. She is a Trustee of human rights organization Liberty and, more recently, Patron of Reprieve. She is also an important campaigner for Amnesty International.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
This should have waay more views. Vivienne Westwood is a true inspiration for me, she is so sincere and full of integrity and a true embodiment of resistance in human form. World needs more people like her.
Vivienne Westwood never received the real respect she earned and deserved.
I wish more people would have listened to her. She spoke a lot of sense. She uncovered the covered, she spoke out against societies purposeful flaws to the exact people profiting from those flaws. Brave. She used her standing culturally to voice her opinions and tried to make a stand on things that matter. The sort of person kids nowadays should be admiring. I certainly look up to her a lot. Fine lady. May she rest in peace.
I had a friend, a time ago,...he said : I dont care what you do, but for god sake, do something..." He is dead now, and I miss him a lot, but he said something, I will follow...and remeber for the rest of my life.
She is one of our THINKERS. So fabulous. So intelligent!
Thank you very much, lovely Dame Vivienne Westwood 👑 💜

If only you could just give all the control to her. ♡♡♡
The problem is people giving their power and responsibility away in the first place. Take both back, and you'll see a very different world.
@@gracelewis6071 its systemic. individuals giving a right away- nah!
The rulers are those length measuring devices that have been around for millennia. We use them to measure.
Excellent
yes, governments do overspend coz of all the unnecessary wars, overpolicing, and the subsidies that only help harmful trades like meat, as mentioned... thankyou, vivienne
RIP💐💐💐
Love
I love you vivienne
Vivienne would be a great nan.
enlightening & many if not all should be Interested
Buy less, choose well, make it last.
My granny ❤

*We are our rulers...
Such a sad day for this planet😭
💜🙏💜♾👁♾💜🙏💜
As an Australian, that map looks dodgy to me.
Honestly she died and the world is worse than ever I don't see it not going down this path
Ok. But you're still selling overpriced clothes. Your brand is dressing the bad guys' family you talk about. Lol. I wonder of she knows that a simple farmer from an organic plantation in Sweden can't afford her bags.
She is an artist, she is not saying anything thing about couture which is where her life headed. She has a platform to speak yet you focus on something other than what it is she is saying in the most negative manner. You cant even hear the message. In your world, if you have money you can't care about humanity? The people who buy her clothes are often oblivious, that is exactly what she is saying.
Think about what "overpriced" actually means. This is part of what she's talking about - we are absolutely out of touch with the actual cost of things today, in massive part due to these subsidies she's talking about. They are in every industry, including fashion. The actual cost to make a piece of sustainable, quality clothing is FAR greater than the prices we see in stores. And who's paying for the rest of the cost of that item? Then what are the consequences of that? And now multiply by millions, if not billions of items.
We need to get back in touch with the real value of things.
@@gracelewis6071 exactly, I'd SO MUCH want all of the clothes to be much more expensive so that people buy less and wear them for years. Today people buy clothes EVERY WEEK because they are cheap. Sick of it
Westwood is the back bone of my wardrobe, yet I only own ten of her pieces. she has always said buy less!
@@sumeriandays86 I wish for that as well
Yawn
Yawn Guy 😂
Hmmm kinda disappointed... remarkably wrong info. on the financial system. It looks like she watched a michael moore film and she is trying to recite it. U should stick to what u r good at.
So you know more than the World Bank?
A teacher? An activist with more than 30 years of being anti establishment? Sure, Jan!
@@hypernature have you heard of appeal to authority? Dont be a lamb. Many famous figures spew out bs
@@user-ir7cd6qi7u we all spew out “BS” from time to time myself and you included not to mention stepping outside of the norm can do some good.
