  • Vivienne Westwood may have one of the craziest stories in all of fashion. How is it possible that a former elementary school teacher became the Queen of Punk? Well that’s exactly what we’re going to be looking at in this video - starting back in her days running a boutique with Malcolm Mclaren, all the way to present day. You might even be surprised to learn that she’s left her mark on several pop culture fixtures like the game Final Fantasy, and that she played a major role in Pharrell Williams’ viral Grammy appearance back in 2014. This is the history of Vivienne Westwood - enjoy!

    I love Vivienne purely because she’s a rebellious punkish designer in the high fashion space since it seems to be mostly made up of rather “proper” acting people. I can’t imagine many designers other than her in a mosh pit.

    As a dressmaker/ designer myself, VW is truly brilliant at cut and concept. She’s far more than just a rock/ punk niche boutiquer, the work is truly original. Clothes are hard, they’re kinetic sculptures that have to fit a body. It’s a rare talent that can cut and she can!

    A lot of actual punks dislike Vivienne Westwood because she didn’t create an inclusive version of punk. However be that as it may, many of the silhouettes that exist in punk, and the very few fashion factions that exist in the subculture are attributed to her. Her contribution is undeniable. Despite modern day punks in my scene hating her because high fashion is part of the Elite and bourgeoisie culture. Which at it’s core is everything punk is against.

    Video was great-I’m a big fashion nerd too 🤓 maybe (and I know it’s a lot of work) you could add more pictures of pieces from her career and collections next time. I know how difficult it is to go through the editing process and putting less pictures means less time and you get more videos put out I totally get it. But as a viewer there’s only so much that you can listen to without something moving in front of you and I think the pictures of her work speak more to the art itself than anyone’s description could of course you did an excellent job and your description of everything we’re just be the icing on the cake on top of the pictures.
