From her humble childhood growing up in war-torn Britain to her famous collaborations with Malcolm McLaren, her pioneering of the punk fashion movement, and later her tireless advocacy work to "save the world by halting climate change, stopping war, defending human rights and protesting capitalism", Vivienne Westwood is one of the most celebrated creative figures across not just the United Kingdom, but the world. Honored officially with the Dame Commander of the Same Order by Queen Elizabeth II, and adored by her countless fans and supporters across the globe, Dame Vivienne is an enduring icon of the fashion world and beyond. Complete with bold illustrations, this book celebrates the remarkable life of the Queen of British Fashion from A to Z.
