It would be more than a dream, as an
aspiring fashion writer, to interview Dame Vivienne Westwood. Everything about
her bold prints and trashy colours are inviting to the eye, with explosions of
vibrancy in every piece. There is no way you can not fall in love with her
work. A British born woman that designs for real individuals, and is as
wild as her designs. Sticking two fingers up to conformity, Vivienne’s attitude
and views have carved her career from starting as an independent UK retailer to
the brand she has become today.
The Dame seems to be such an
extrovert character; I would be very interested to find out more about her
entire life and influences that have led her to become the brand she is today.
Vivienne is so much more than just a designer, her input is helping to make
changes across the globe and shape a future for its people. This is not an
occupation to this woman it is a sheer passion. Designs are the way in which
Westwood puts forward her opinions and fashion is not just a daily occurrence
but a platform.
A UK design heroine, with works even
The Queen has acknowledged. This intricate woman would be the biggest feature
of any writer’s career, and would complete mine. The Dame is such a vivacious
ambassador and creator, with important messages portrayed through her work and
a muse to young designers worldwide. I applaud her influence on the UK fashion
scene in all of its brave glory.
