| Summary |
An up close and personal look at the life and work of the iconic British fashion designer Vivienne Westwood. The film looks beyond her eccentricity and desire for shock value, examining what drives and influences her to create the quirky and original pieces which have made her reputation.Acclaimed as the designer most responsible for bringing punk and other anti-establishment forms of fashion into the mainstream, Westwood rose to prominence in the late 1970s as bands such as the Sex Pistols (who wore her designs) stormed the charts.Still active today, with a shop in London and other interests, this program mixes exclusive footage of Westwood with archive clips to tell her story (including her complex relationship with her younger husband and 'creative associate') and those of the subcultures she helped popularise.
