Description

Discover the story of the punk fashion designer and all-round revolutionary icon, Vivienne Westwood.

Packed with photographs and information covering her extraordinary life, you'll discover how provocation and anti-establishment slogans became her calling cards and how her brand developed its characteristic motifs including tartan, pearls and the iconic orb logo.

Find out about the Vivienne Westwood catwalk moments that have gone down in history, how THAT wedding dress came to feature in the Sex and the City movie and how a pearl necklace went viral on TikTok.

With an exploration of everything from the most notable collaborations and key protest moments to the last VW show and collection before her death in 2022, Vivienne Westwood: The Story Behind the Style is the perfect gift for everyone who has ever been inspired by the Dame of fashion.
