@roryb you summed it up perfectly ! it was honestly such a shock to me when i heard she had passed away, for sure one of the most iconic and one of my favorite designers of all time, sheβll be missed a lot π and thank you !
beautiful β₯οΈ ugh this one really got to meβ¦ I love Vivienne Westwood so much :( sheβs like the person I reference in pretty much all of my essays for uni, the way she built her brand and her role in social and environmental issues/advocacyβ¦ The way she brought Punk - a counterculture originated by the queer&working class of Britain during an economic crisis - into high fashion was just badass. Even in her modern career, she sent models down runways in front of the super rich and famous in pieces covered in anti-capitalism/anti-fascism designs. A true powerhouse in the industry.
