i-Cons: Vivienne Westwood

  • Over the course five decades, the girl born Vivienne Isabel Swire has gone from punk-provocateur to Britain’s best loved fashion designer. Raised in the D.I.Y. climate of post-war Derbyshire, it was 1970s London where she opened the Kings Road boutique that launched her name and, along with co-conspirator Malcolm McLaren, gave birth to Britain’s most defining youth movement: punk. In the years that followed - from Pirates to Mini Crini, Harris Tweed to the present day - she plundered history, pioneering the idea that fashion could be about more than just clothes - it could be about protest too. Join us, as we meet the incendiary grande dame behind the name, and discover more about a bone fide i-D icon: Vivienne Westwood.

    My daughter did work experience at Vivienne Westwood Battersea. At the end of her eight weeks there she was told that Vivienne had said she could chose any three items in the warehouse. Some things were so expensive, like two grand!! My daughter chose three moderate items and was given some perfume and a scarf extra to that. My daughter had worked with Vivienne, just the two of them, several times. She is a wonderful down to earth talented icon. An amazing part of our fashion history.

    When I baught my first designer bag it just so happens to be a small black vivvian Westwood handbag. I was so excited with my bag I showed it off to my grandma who shocked me by calmly stating that she had gone to school with vivvian in Glossop. I was in shock for the rest of the day.

    I studied Vivienne during my course at school and she changed who I looked at fashion and just life in general. She changed a lot of things for the fashion industry and not many people know of her. She should get more recognition for what she's done for fashion and history of fashion

    I worked for her in 1997 when I was just out of school my first ever job , I used to see Vivienne Westwood every day , the funniest part is that I got the job from the local job centre the description was (office junior and warehouse assistant) with no details of employer , luckily the manager lived round the corner from me and told me id got the job just as I was leaving the building from the interview , was a real eye opener and gave me a good scaffold for my career .. as I then moved on to gucci years later ..good times
