Вставка

- 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!

She also inspired the anime/manga Nana. Her and the Sex Pistols .
Love nana
and nana made vivienne westwood super popular in japan, it all came full circle
Malcolm McClaren
Nana introduced me to manga world but i never know that! Very cool!
Watching/reading Nana in my teenage years is how I was introduced to Vivienne Westwood and I became obsessed. Still want one of those rings.
The most influential rock and punk female designer in the fashion industry.
Prob THE most influential next to Ann De maybe
The most
She the reason I even consider creating punk clothing and the hard wear I add on my pieces
Non of her clothing represents real pink fashion what so ever
@@sunnyboy3244 it's inspired by the Punk subculture. Her partner at the time looked after bands and she would clothe them, you could even say she inspired what we see as 'Punk' today.
Rest in peace, Vivienne, you truly were iconic.
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.
rick, helmut, jun, walter vb, ann d, demna, takahiro, shinsuke
@@organ5899 Sorry it came across that she was the only one that I could see in a mosh pit or as rebellious, because that’s not the case (clearly because you just gave a few examples). Others that came to my mind were Demna, John Galliano, Raf Simons, and Nigo
@@jalenciagass99 ah okay, I misinterpreted you. glad we agree on demna that guy is hilarious
And me 😂
Just by the fact that she could’ve settle as a school teacher is mind blowing.
definitely something to ponder on
The punkest thing you can do is become a teacher🖤
@@Maso777 lmao can attest. . I went to teaching school, then dropped a year shy from graduation to pursue a career in fashion design
now i know why she loves using kids' drawings as prints
imagine having her as a teacher!!
She was able to transcend fashion into music and culture and that what truly makes a good brand
"this makes me wonder about all of the great artists that we'll never know about because they didn't make the jump" - this absolutely gutted me. as i sit here trying to distract myself from my soul crushing job and day dreaming about making that jump into the world of design. - R.
Same here
Same :(.
Hands down one of the most important designers of the last century. I love her work. What a mind!
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!
Yeah the idea that her hub would insult her by saying she's "just a seamstress" shows how little he knows...that's literally why her cuts are great, cause she actually knows how to make the clothes!
Exactky! The cut is the key!
Are you the , Liz Claiborne who had clothes in the store I used to work in the 80s
I love everything she did she died so sad
@@rubydawn1 everything she designed was so beautifully feminine, including the punk stuff. Even if I won the lottery I couldn't wear any of it x
imagine being able to say "I once had a teacher who was vivienne westwood"
I never knew how inspiring Vivienne Westwood’s life-story would be…thank you Threaducation!
I’ve always known of the name, but I never knew anything about the brand at all. This is all new to me and I am inspired AF. What a interesting (ongoing!) career/life!
I love that she’s still inspiring new minds. All the best to you Makoto
Well done. For some reason, people often try to write Viv off as just some old kooky lady. But she has always been and remains phenomenal. We must always respect our elders who have paved the way for us.
but u didnt understood the final of it.that shes a surviver that she made compromises.big ones.she started w a nice ideea and finished w the oposite...
Thanks for this, as an old punk I cannot get enough of Vivienne Westwood. 💕 RIP
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.
Plus the sex pistols are posers
"actutal punks" lol
@@mrsclark78 ???
By actual punks I'm pretty you mean rich kids pretending to be socialists calling themselves punks
@@MA-go7ee that's literally just Vivienne Westwood
Give us Mugler! So interested to see how you would tell the tale
I can really see Vivienne's style in NANA now that i actually see what her designs looks like
after binging your videos since November I did see the common theme of "what if they didnt....?" These videos arent just about clothing and design for me. Theyreally are inspirational. It made me consider my personal approach to life in general. ❤️. I'm glad you are doing what you are doing. Another wonderful video.
i already loved vivienne westwood's work so so much, but now knowing her backstory makes me love her all the more!! she's so inspiring, and im so glad the world is able to see her artistry because she was always true to herself :D
I just got a Vivienne Westwood necklace! Finally made some in 925 silver so it doesn’t tarnish! Well worth it
I came to watch this after Viviennes passing I always loved her and wore her clothing in high-school I might not be as successful as her but am making the jump and start designing she's truly a inspiring woman
I literally fell in LOVE with your subtle way of telling us those powerful stories…
Within two days I devoured all of your content.
I would be so glad to learn from you about Azzedine Alaïa as he was so discrete.
Much love and support ❤️
Vivienne Westwood first showed up on my radar by the Sex and the City movie when Carrie wore a VW wedding gown. Thank you Threaducation for informing me further on Westwood’s career!
This is my first Treaducation video. What a well done, beautiful, in-depth presentation of a true fashion icon. Vivienne Westwood walked that fine (curvy) line between security and passion . Fortunately for us all, her steps brought attention to both styles and social issues. This video tells an incredible story and does it amazingly well.
This entire video has been wonderful to watch and very educational, but when you mentioned around 25:55 that she designed the wedding dress in FF15 my jaw dropped. I loved it without knowing who made it.😍 Plus some of my friends wear punk outfits that were clearly influenced by her work. I'm going to share this video with them so they can appreciate and love her, too!
This is so well done because I just couldn't seem to find a proper timeline of her works, how she started out and whatnot. I just knew she was influential and cares about the environment
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.
Wow, thank you so much for perfectly expressing my view!
I agree that a greater amount of her work would be exponentially better for the viewer. Including many of her seminal works by decade and/or film and television could only be a dream come true for many of us.
I just love her! I mean, selling Tom of Finland illustrations on clothes in the middle of the aids epidemic. Iconic. She is amazing!
Oh, I just Google it, and it was not Tom of Finland (I always thought it was, the style is the same) but the illustrator name is Jim French. Wow, I even own a tie with that print hahaha
WOW! I loved every second of this video so much!! Thank you so much for making this
Really great channel! Thanks for the obvious hard work putting these together.
Bro I love this Channel. I’m 34 & it really Made me Remember my Luv for Fashion and Just Creativity in General. You Also Speak on the Business side of things in People lives. The inspiration is Powerful
I did not know about the Keith Haring connection- two of my favourite artsits/designers!
Amazing content, looking forward to what you make next.
Love this channel. I know nothing about fashion and design but I enjoy learning about creatives in a completely different industry than me.
i love this video and it is the first thing i have come to watch since hearing about Vivienne Westwood's passing. thank you for this video
RIP to the legend Dame Vivienne Westwood
I've been binge-watching all your videos, absolutely loving them! Please do one on Marine Serre:)
Soooo good. I love this channel but this was one of the best so far. And I’ve already seen the Westwood doc on Amazon. While that featured her voice and had a certain intimacy, yours filled in some holes and was invigorating in ways i needed. She is one of my heroes. I remember the buffalo hat because i was kid when McClaren’s ‘Buffalo Girls’ vid came out. Yeah this installment was gold. I loved the Telfar, Virgil Abloh, HBA, Blood Osiris and Rick Owens ones as well. THANK YOU.🙏🏽✊🏽👍🏽
already my favorite video by you i’ve been waiting for this
Excellent video! Love how you tied everything together! well done

Super underated channel
This is a beautiful video 💖
The timing here is almost spooking, literally working on and thinking about an editorial for vwss22
Thanks for covering the legend herself! Can we keep this up going forward and no more hypebeast brands or influencers
rest in peace, Queen of all 🥺🥺🥺 she's a true inspiring human
Amazing work
another great video
I only know about her through the rocking horse shoes, but seeing the punk to “royalty” transition just feels right with the background context of egl fashion
Wow you have an earned a follow. This is amazing.
Was only a matter of time - thanks for this
Great documentary.
She's a hell of a dame. I don't always find her designs completely for me, but her career has been monumental.
great video, means a lot. bless1
great work. i'm dying for a video about margiela.
good job. that pirate look became very popular, as seen by the new romantics, as well as adam ant and even the pogues.
I am enjoying your videos very much. I just wanted to comment that as far as I remember the Buffalo hat was Malcolm’s design and Nostalgia of Mud was also McLaren ‘s concept ( after the split from Vivienne). The Seditionnaries shop (the one after SEX) from 1976 was the starting point of UK punk. I think it’s also worth mentioning that the shop BOY bought the patterns of the Seditionnaries era from Vivienne. ( although I heard rumors that they were stolen :) )
Buenisimo!!! Graciasss cuanta informacion
as always banger vid
