Vivienne Westwood is an English fashion designer bringing modern punk and new wave fashions into the mainstream.

Vivienne has always been a rebel and brawler. Her last surprise that shocked all London was the posing nude for a fashion magazine considering the fact that Vivienne is 60 year old!

Career

Vivienne Westwood’s career started when she was 30 year old.
In 1970, she began to seriously engage in design and opened her first store.
In the middle of 70s there was a spread of new punk fashion in London. Vivienne sensitively responded to changes in youth’s fashion. From that moment her ascent has begun.

Westwood has influenced careers of other designers into the British fashion industry.

 

Westwood’s designs were shown in the 2008 film adaptation of the television series “Sex and the City“. In the film, Carrie Bradshaw wore a wedding dress, which were made by Vivienne Westwood.

Personal life

However, the greater was the crazy designer’s success, from bad to worse became the relationship with her husband. After 13 years of marriage and oeuvre Westwood and McLaren got divorced.

Her student, whom she taught in University of Applied Art, Andreas Kronthaler, almost 25 years younger than her, became her third husband. For the past 7 years they have been working together.
