Vivienne Westwood

Product Information

Wir erfahren, dass sie immer nur am arbeiten war, zwei Kinder versorgend und einen Mann unterstützend, der versuchte seine Träume zu leben und der ein purer Egoist war. (jedoch ein unglaublich inspirierender Egoist) Bishin zu ihrem Einsatz für den Planet und eine bessere Zukunft nicht nur für ihre Nachkommen, sondern für alle Generationen, die noch kommen werden. Because, honestly, who the hell am I to be critiquing the life story of the grande dame of British fashion? It’s not like I can add any real value to the conversation.

The later section on how her interest in climate change & human rights came about and how that has been intrinsically incorporated into her work is far more interesting. You get a sense of her radicalism in her voicing of the link between the destruction of the planet & capitalism. The snake consuming itself. Simplistic but the underlying truth. Although my head starts hurting a bit when I start dwelling on how much someone can really be a critic of a system they are dependent on. VIVIENNE WESTWOOD (Dame Vivienne Westwood, DBE (* 8. April 1941-2022) englische Modeschöpferin, "Queen of Punk" Whether you like fashion, punk, activism, or stories of perseverance and the strength of real people this is a fabulous book. Anyone with an averagely fragile ego would have been unable to take the way McLaren behaved. He was brought up in a North London Jewish family by his grandmother, an eccentric landlady called Rose Corré Isaacs, who didn’t believe in children going to school and was given to pronouncements such as ‘to be bad is good.’ Westwood and McLaren’s son, Joe, who also works in fashion (he founded the lingerie shop Agent Provocateur), was given the surname Corré in honour of Rose. McLaren’s mother, Emily, was a prostitute. Westwood says that the ‘root of all his troubles’ was that he ‘never knew real maternal love as a child’. He displayed a pathological desire to dazzle and insult the world with his brilliance and to disparage the abilities of anyone close to him, Westwood especially. Nothing, however, seems to have been able to dent her hero-image of herself. When they first met, he spent ‘most of his student grant on clothes’ for her, changing the way she dressed from ‘a dolly bird into a chic, confident dresser’. He bought her schoolgirl uniforms from John Lewis and made her wear them with rubberised cotton macs and red tights. But the more he insulted her and dressed her like a prostitute, the more she loved herself. By 1974, they had changed the name of the shop from Too Fast to Live Too Young to Die to SEX, and she was mostly to be seen in fake leather trousers and purple make-up: I've been a fan of Vivienne's fashion for some time and every time I saw a photo of her I just thought "This really looks like someone I need to know". I was not mistaken. Though this co-authored autobiography is as close as I can get to 'knowing' Vivienne the impact it's left on me is incredible.It baffles me that Kelly kept on deadnaming and misgendering Chelsea Manning, who came out publicly in 2013. Note that this book was published in 2014, and there was one sentence that mentioned her name, so Kelly wasn’t exactly clueless. This issue made me unable to give the book a rating. I wonder if anyone has lived such a vibrant and influential life, simply by trusting their instincts and doing whatever they f**king well wanted.

When I left my abusive family punk clothes and Lolita fashion especially started to give me confidence and helped me find a voice, and to find out that all of that was started by Vivienne- it just gave me this very satisfied feeling on coming full circle.

Some person said, Westwood’s book is an imperfect rant. And that’s OK. The biographer, Ian Kelly accused of plagiarism and recently, media pulled an out of context comment made by Westwood at Parliament, armed with a 60 million signed, anti-GMO petition. The message in a Derbyshire accent, encouraged the impoverished to eat less. She meant well. And on point wanting plenty production local, organic food to drive market prices down. Eat less, a comment encouraging those choosing harmful food to reconsider, forcing poison to disappear – eat less kale if you can afford it would’ve won the public over. Hysterics should’ve directed at those responsible for supplying the community dirt. But you can’t best intentions even a tireless campaigner’s heart will never revolution despair and hate. Her sense of her own heroism came at least in part from a fierce conviction that she was ‘good at making’. In the years of wartime and afterwards, being good at making could have considerable impact on how you lived. Although there wasn’t much money at home (her father worked in a munitions factory during the war, her mother in a cloth factory), Vivienne was never aware of wartime restrictions, for example, on the use of elastic. Both her parents came from generations of grocers and shoemakers and were good with their hands: Gordon made holly wreaths to sell at Christmas and Dora was a ‘demon’ knitter and very ‘particular’ about making all her children’s outfits. Vivienne inherited their dexterity. ‘Honestly, at the age of five, I could have made a pair of shoes.’ Once, she showed the other children at school how to make a fairground scene involving swingboats out of cardboard and matchboxes. She and her parents also had a strong sense of mutual pride. She was proud of her father, because he was attractive and sporty and sociable and ‘just the best possible dad’. And she always knew her parents were proud of her – proud when she was ‘little’ and proud of ‘what I became’. Forgotten the title or the author of a book?

Art. Das Kunstmagazin. Nr. 2 / Februar 2006. Rätsel Rembrandt. Seit 400 Jahren modern. Alles zum Jubiläumsjahr / Mode und Kunst: Interview mit Vivienne Westwood. I think Vivienne Westwood is an exceptional & interesting person. This authorised biography isn’t that interesting though.

Toward the end where the main focus was on her activism, I love how Westwood said that everything costs less than it’s supposed to because the Earth is carrying that subsidy for us. (And yet it is also true that the current world economy does not allow us all to have the luxury of only purchasing sustainable items.) Dame Vivienne Westwood, DBE, RDI (born Vivienne Isabel Swire) was a British fashion designer largely responsible for bringing modern punk and new wave fashions into the mainstream. Und so lässt sie uns teilhaben an der Nachkriegszeit in der sie heranwuchs. Eine Zeit in der DIY noch nicht chic, sondern notwendig war. Sie nimmt uns mit zu den Geburtsorten des Punk und schildert ihre arbeitsreiche Zeit mit ihrem Partner Malcolm McLaren. Vivienne Westwood is one of the icons of our age. Fashion designer, activist, co-creator of punk, global brand and grandmother; a true living legend. Her career has successfully spanned five decades and her work has influenced millions of people across the world. She stunned 1960s London (who were still well and truly in the grips of Beatlemania) by chopping off her hair and bleaching it white-blonde. She was the pivotal player in creating the musical mayhem that is the Sex Pistols.Vivienne Westwood hat im Leben nichts geschenkt bekommen. Für sie war ihr Leben meistens ein Kampf - Egal ob gegen Konventionen, Malcom oder die Geschichtsvollzieher. Es ist wirklich ein wahres Wunder, dass sie nie aufgegeben hat. Doch wer beharrlich geht, kommt auch ans Ziel. Finding out how much of my own life she influenced. All the fashion I adore most comes from Vivienne's career. She talks about how clothes give you confidence and how punk especially was for making you feel more than what the world made you feel like. Tapa Blanda. Condition: Bien. 3 (illustrator).
